Bah, guess, i will add my two cents, I look at owning the vinyl as
owning the next best thing to a studio master. Problem is vinyl wears
out each time it is played. Digital files never wear-out, and if you
dj digitally, you don't have to get an acetate made every time a
remix/edit is done. Alot easier to play your exclusive tracks on a
limited budget, as most of us are on. -so I have been working on
digitizing my vinyl collection, but its time consuming. Most of the
vinyl I am after is out-of print, some new music I would rather buy a
legit mp3 if the music is recorded digitally in the first place. But
for the older records which were mastered from reel-to-reel, vinyl is
the only answer because one must do there own analog to digital master,
and this is where modern djs have a chance to stand out from the rest,
the techno-world needs more Larry Levins and Ron Hardys doing there own
remixes etc.

That's why i have embraked on the gargantuan task of ripping all my
vinyl to mp3 - digital files ARE easier to use, although for me there
is nothing like vinyl. the sound, the feel, the smell....and the
packaging.
