Would music ever go back to Vinyl
Would be a good ideal for music to go back to vinyl format and would it stop people downloading.

How would it stop people downloading in any way?

It won't stop people downloading. That's here to stay now (legally and illegally).
However, sales of vinyl are actually increasing. http://mog.com/blog_post/content/802/2004719 Back in 2008, sales increased by almost 40%. |

I hope it doesn't. Spent a fortune on getting my vinyl collection on CD and also got rid of an excellent turntable.

There will always be a demand for vinyl. I don't buy much new vinyl but I'm always on the lookout for good secondhand stuff, especially rarities. |

Most albums and singles are released on vinyl now anyway. Just because you don't see them in your local supermarkets or HMV doesn't mean they aren't there. I still buy only vinyl.

It would be a shame if Vinyl disappeared completely but i dont think this will ever happen. Someone summed up the record industry the other day when they said "people are willing to download a ring tone for a few quid yet wont purchase a single for 99p"
Sums up the youth today IMHO. |

I think a lot of artist realise that there is a market out there for vinyl's.
Personally I'm a huge fan of vinyl's just going to a record store and spending entire lunch breaks even Saturdays trawling through millions of records, brings back memories

Vinyl will never die. A lot of young people now are buying it and that will always keep it alive.

I have a few records and I was playing one the other day when my girlfriend (who's a little bit younger than me) asked is it was a blank one that I'd recorded stuff onto. Bless her.

Downloads are here to stay. They work in this day and age.
I've never seen the appeal of vinyl. The sound quality is strange and records are hard to store. Obviously, if you've grown up with it, it's different. |

The sound quality of vinyl can be superb, but they need to be looked after. As to storage, all they need is to be kept out of direct sunlight so not really a problem. |

Let the young people have their mp3s. If you have a turntable and a big record collection then chances are you have a good sound system to play it all on. Most teenagers or young adults can not afford and will not have a primary sound system, they will either just use their PCs and ipod/mp3 player to listen to their music. It's not a natural way to listen to music, sitting at a PC or having headphones on your head but that is just how it is. It just seems like too much work and concentration just to listen to it. At least with records you can put one on, turn the volume up and enjoy it either on your own or with company.

Heated up and bent I believe they can be made into very good flowerpots. Even got the hole in the right place

CDWOW also do vinyl now. I bought Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster on viny for just over £13 so it's not like there is a huge difference in prices between the formats. Universal Music are starting to add more and more UK artists to their online store but i only recently found out that their shipping is free! So i've been taking advantage of deals like this.
http://store.universal-music.co.uk/r...icat/alphabeat Consdering it is autographed and only £3.99 delivered it was well worth it. You could go into HMV and pay that for the CD single unsigned. I also have a good turntable, amp and monitors which you do need if you wanna get the benefits from it. |

I treasure my vinyl collection. I don't play them as often as I would love to only because I don't want to damage them, but I personally prefer vinyl to CD or anything. |

These days people can buy a turntable for a reasonable price. Of course it could cost their arms and legs if they want to get professional ones, but the very simple ones can go lower than 100 pounds, I believe. eBay has lots of them, and cnet has some useful information on its website.

I'm 18 and have been collecting vinyl for the last few months (I love 60s music)
I've built up a small collection, but I just adore playing them and there's fun to be had searching boot fairs and charity shops for them heck, it was my 18th the other day and I played records instead of my iPod! sadly, no one told me about how senstive they are to heat and I accidently melted my Bob Dylan record ![]() thank you to the person who mentioned CD-Wow, I see they have the Kinks record I've been searching for for ages, yay! |

Don't get me wrong, I love Vinyl but if it was a choice of buying Vinyl or buying in cd / mp3 format then cd / mp3 format would win everytime as it would save the long arsed process of ripping the song from Vinyl to mp3. I have no problem in paying for my music, but I will pay for each song a single time only, whatever the format for multiple sources to play it back. |
