Is vinyl dead ?

...I'll see your Yin and raise you 3 Yangs!

Yes, absolutely, it's dead!

Please send me all your dead LPs, I will respectfully put them to rest in my state-of-the-art mausoleum where they will be preserved for eternity in their own dust jackets.

Oh...I'll pay shipping.

I can get 8-tracks for you if you want, nothing is ever dead there is always someone who wants and therefore gets what they are looking for. Will vinyl ever be more than what it is today? No, the masses care about convenience not quality that is why mp3 etc.. take off, from the computer to the car to the portable to the home stereo to the home office......all one format easy to use, simple to set-up (for the moment free and mostly illegal) it's making a tape for your friend on a mass PUBLIC scale...wheres tapes where private, Vinyl sounds great...free and easy to use sounds better to most people.
I love my turntable, but in my location garage sales are about it for new ones....unless i drive a couple of hours. Most people don't spend more than and hour a day with loved ones, you expect them to work to buy music....bah...
Oh, well heres to vinyl...... :)

"I love my turntable, but in my location garage sales are about it for new ones"....

Do you mean LP's, the Internet is full of vinyl.
We no longer have to live in the big city to get our lp fix.
Check the forums for many good sites.

I like eBay for those hard to find oldies.
Even before the internet, when I used to travel the country, you know I always had to check-out those used record stores.
I NEVER found most of the rare stuff you can see on eBay every day.
peace,

YES VINYL IS DEAD.

Now that the issue is settled, everyone send their LP's to me for disposal.

I've tried that several times Albert and, curiously, I've received no LP's! :-)
