Vinyl Gets Its Groove Back

Posted by kdawson on Saturday January 12, 2008 @06:23PM from the what-goes-around-comes-ariynd dept.

theodp writes "Time reports that vinyl records are suddenly cool again. Vinyl has a warmer, more nuanced sound than CDs or MP3s; records feature large album covers with imaginative graphics, pullout photos, and liner notes. 'Bad sound on an iPod has had an impact on a lot of people going back to vinyl,' says 15-year-old David MacRunnel, who owns more than 1,000 records."

So you're comparing vinyl to humans? I wasn't aware vinyl healed itself when scratched. And I'm fairly certain humans don't warp out of shape when left near a window with the sun coming in.
