They're old, musty and they're in a cedar chest and a box. Not many and it's not actually my collection. If you can call it that. I definitely have more other media than records, but I also live by a (walkable) record store. So, there might be a growth of records to have.

On the plus side, I scored a lot of records from their "book" sales at an annual festival for something like a dollar a paper grocery store (when they're closing up for the weekend). Most of what I've gotten that way will likely never make it to electronic form.

If you have a million bucks and a warehouse...

I never use them and my wife is on me every once in a while to get rid of them. I prefer the digital music, but I love the old album art. My daughter uses some of them as wall decorations. Her and some of her friends are into vinyl and I've given them a few of my albums.

Vinyl is cool. I collected a couple record crate fulls up into the 80s and then switched to CD. I've recently decided that CDs have no soul so I my last couple and all my future purchases will be vinyl if it is available.


I used to love the ceremony of playing a record. I had this record cleaning device that used some type of cleaner and I would carefully spin the thing around the record and then play it and then clean it again and put it away. During the listening I would read the liner notes if there were any and, hopefully the lyrics. I guess I'm gonna need to get a new cleaner thingy. I have a record player but no receiver to hook it up to yet. I plan on getting a good home theater system and hook a computer and the record player up. Will probably do some vinyl to mp3 transfers for carrying music in the car but I may not have to on new releases as they are often coming with coupons for free digital downloads of the albums.

Hooray! Vinyl!

I have a friend who has a laser record player. So he can play the shattered 78's in his collection. Not sure if it's this company or not though:
