  6. Re:The death of x on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 1

    vinyl records are far from dead. they're just more of a niche market bow. people like me like vinyl for it's warmer sound. a lot more music than you'd suspect is still printed on vinyl. it's often cheaper new, but far more once it's out of print and all over ebay.

  23. not all record stores are doing bad on The Downward Spiral of Music Retailing · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Sales at the independant record store I go to have been steadily increasing. How do they do it?

    they have reasonable prices (about $11-$14 new)

    they have a good selection (everything but pop and newer country)

    they have a knowledgeable staff

    quick special ordering

    they carry smaller, independant labels you'll never find at *insert huge chain here*
    Just an example, the new Radiohead album:

    borders: $19.99

    independant record store: $12.88
