Hilarious. As a counterpoint though, music is, at its core, evocative. Everything about a record, -the giant physical form factor, the art on the cover, the notes inside, and yes (sometimes especially) the damage from playback can be extremely evocative for some people and serve only to enhance the experience holistically. Digital music is the superior format for my collection on the whole, but a track sitting invisibly on a hard drive cannot hold a candle to the ceremony my fiancé and I have of occasionally coming home and surprising the other with a fantastic old piece of vinyl. Putting it on the record player and listening to it together, checking out the cover, talking about the records we used to have, etc. It's awesome. Much more evocative then what the audio track alone provides.
