Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

Have to agree with madavid0 in that this guy doesn't seem to know much at all about what he criticizes.If he's trying to explain why people prefer vinyl because they can play with the records and the record jackets, that is fine.  I play with mine.
If he is trying to explain why vinyl is better, it sure doesn't include reason of sound quality other than his constantly rendered subjective crap reasons. I just hate subjective arguments where the author takes his opinions of "rich sound" like facts. Give me a break, please.I love my vinyl and it can astound people. But it's not better.
