If I had to pick one format to live with for the rest of my life it would be digital. It's extremely portable, rugged and easy to make backups. I think most of this article is shit (I understand that you posted for the comments). I've got albums that were made from before I was born that play great. I'd say that the average price I've paid per record in my collection is probably right around $0.50 the cost of a digital album in my collection is higher by some orders of magnitude. My CD's always became scuffed up way within a few years at best, I don't miss them a bit. I enjoy the aesthetic of records, I like how they sound as well. besides we just inherited a jukebox that looks almost like this one and a few 100 45's, I feel pretty happy to suffer such a curse. http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/8887/10065238_1.jpg?v=8C...
