Kai:
That and you can pick up an entire box of em for like, 5 bucks. Sure, there may be only a few good ones, but you can always bring them to the record store and sell em to them.

Or at least I can. Being 4 minutes from the Midwest's largest music store. See link above. Totally awesome store.

El Opium:
I just find that old albums and certain kinds of music sound better on vinyl. Stuff that's heavily produced and/or recorded on digital equiptment sounds fine on CD but there are so many things that just aern't right. Indie, punk and experimental stuff that's recorded on low track tape equiptment just isn't meant for the CD. In a way its kind of hard to explain, I have some records were I'm really happy I got the LP and a couple I think would sound just fine on CD. There are also so many CD re-issues out there that haven't been properly mastered for digital or just sound outright bad. Plus I also enjoy hunting vinyl, making a good find in a thrift store or dusky old record shop is certainly nice.

Inlander:
You can do the hunting thing with C.D.s as well, though. I was very excited when I finally managed to track down a copy of Charlie Parker's Savoy recordings.

(Yeah, I know, you can get the store to order C.D.s for you - I just like hunting around, it's so much more fun!)

Kai:
Hunting around does make things much more satisfying.

Also, The Residents (Possibly my favorite band ever) Sound massively better on vinyl than on cd, in my opinion.
