IMHO, as long as there will be DJ's, there will be vinyl. There's
certainly a huge trend for DJ's to use laptops/traktor and a
combination of iPods and CDs, but plenty of them love the feel and
design of vinyl. As a DJ I know I prefer spinning vinyl over anything
else, especially as a physical thing. For me, playing vinyl is
playing an instrument, and nowhere close to doing the same thing with
digital media.
