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.

yes.
definitely. but as for it's archaic media, digital is the only way
forward...
