Can somebody explain to me, somebody who has never listened to a vinyl record, why they are often held in higher regard than CDs or digital copies of music? It seems to me to be little but pretentiousness which draws people to vinyls. Care to educate me, and thereby change my view?

There are a number of posts on Hubski that broach that topic. Here is one. But the short answer is, "for a number of reasons." -Nostalgia, artwork, sound quality and to collect something

Thank you thenewgreen! This had cleared things up quite well for me, although i think i'll stick to my CDs and MP3s.
