Re: [microsound] Make your own vinyl

["Mr.D" <craque@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
