OK My opinion on vinyl: it sounds shit, it isn't as good or convenient as CD, it's an out of date format, and it has nerds clinging onto it, insisting it's better than CD. Your opinion: it sounds "warmer" than CD, some releases are vinyl-only, vinyl is "just better" than CD... my question is, should I get a turntable? I know I have an uninformed opinion, but what reason is there to buy records instead of CDs? I have over 300 CDs in my collection so why move to vinyl? |

don't...i know ppl who even spin with their laptops and mp3's. vynals suck, and most of the ppl who think otherwise are mostly just nostalgia freaks. personaly i like cd's because i'll remix tracks on my pc, and then burn to cd, and when i spin, ppl are like *whoa* WTF?!!! |

If you don't really like vinyl then you might want to get a cheap used turntable. That way if there is a vinyl only release that you want you can buy it and actually listen to it. Personally I like only listning to vinyl when it's something that was originally released on vinly (ie. old jazz 'n funk records) |

if you've got a good table and needle, the sound of vynil can be amazing. |

besides, the physical approach to turntable music making can not be duplicated with cd (even with these new scratch friendly cd players). But for the rest, you re right... |

Vinyl is good if you're a turntablist otherwise MP3 DJing(Traktor) will do just fine IMHO |

I actually like the warm sound of vinyl, but I finally got to the point where I didn't have the time to properly care for the records anymore, so I stopped buying more. Now the whole idea is just unbearably primitive to me. |

i got a similar reaction to whale, until i bought a cd player (4 years ago), most of my music was on vinyl and tapes, but today i can't be arsed... digital format is so much easier to store, manipulate, exchange... but anyway, I have yet to see a dj spinning cd'd to approach the best vinyl dj's |

Records are good for bassy music on a loud sound system. Records can capture lower frequencies than CD's. CD's can capture higher frequencies that records cant. If your just playing music in your home i doesnt really matter. You can usually find a decent turntable at a thriftstore for really cheap. its worth your while to get one plus people give away records to the thrift store too i have a whole collection of jazz at like 50cents 25 cents for out of print jazz. |

Dont do it just for that. If your going to be DJing {which is pretty lame if you ask me..... most of the time anyway}. Dont get one to buy vinyl and listen.....its not worth it. The only people I know who buy records are people who DJ {which pisses me off cause they only "spin" other peoples music, and add in little fades and shit here and there, WOW! thats just so crazy and boring!} sorry for my rant. |

I buy vinyls when it's a Ep and cd when it's an album. Most ep's i buy in record stores are only released on vinyl. |

With a decent amp, turntable, and speakers (and if it was recorded well), vinyl can sound at least as good, if not better, as standard compact disc. That will probably change when SACDs / DVD audio become mainstream. |

yeah, the only reason i picked up a turntable is because so many promo's are given out on vinyl. |
