I know its already been mentioned recently, but this url does point to a future where vinyl is redundant (at least functionally anyway).
www.finalscratch.com And while I am a fan of 'the full package' maybe there are many who are not, It would be interesting to see what happened if labels released a full vinyl version with packaging etc. and a lower priced 'just the mp3s' option. Obviously this scenario is only feasible if technology like 'final scratch' really does work. I must admit i'm pretty sure I would pay for more music over more cardboard and shrinkwrap... But I may be biased becuase I just moved house and my back is still killing me from lugging all those discs about :) Steve > Next up would be the appreciation of what we have.. like i > said before, i think > the format in which we present our stuff to the world (vinyl > that is) is an > intricate part of our product, and the whole package, > artwork, soundquality, > inscriptions etc are part of the thing we make, painting on > canvas is different > from painting on wood, and presenting our music in a mix > makes the track > different from presenting it in a certain order, or as part > of a specific > selection.
