I think that's a big part of it.  The emotional connection is lost with
12,000 songs at one's immediate disposal.  Pulling out the vinyl,
cleaning the LP, droppping the needle -- complete with an intermission
mid-way through -- requires a certain committment to the specific album
in play.  

I have an LP player, but mostly for kicks.  Also because there is a TON
of material available, for cheap, at garage sales and swap meets.  Its
fun.  But I don't fool myself that it's somehow "better" than CD.  

Listening to the first half of Kind of Blue, on LP, is a different kind
of experience.
