Apparently Vinyl is all the rage now.

It'll be cassettes again soon. <shudder> 

Tell me about it . . . .

Bought loads of vinyl in my youth . . .
Then prerecorded tapes . . .
Then CDs . . . .
Avoided downloads, and certainly iTunes
Now back to Vinyl again

Nope. I'm sticking with CDs, although I do rip them at 320 bitrate and put them on a memory stick

Speak English man. I converted a Pink Floyd concert Utube video clip into a music file and it plays fine on the PC. Converted it into this MP3 milarkey and it doesn't play on my car Hi Fi   But then I am older, just ,than 20

Don't worry, maybe they will have a phonograph version for you

ha, titter ye not. I have an 8 track and some tapes somewhere. You will be too young to remember those. One day it will be worth £10 or £12.

Back in the seventies the girl I fancied the pants off was seduced by a smarmy little shit with a Capri 3000E ( yellow with a BVR) complete with an 8 track.

I mean, what chance did I stand?

perhaps you could have dyed your hair for a vinyl roof of your own?

I still remember the car,  It was 'K' reg so 1971/72.

Back in the day plenty of girls were willing to drop their knickers for a boyfriend with a Capri.

I'm feeling deflated!

Just when I thought I had mastered all the in, cool, stuff on streaming according to all of you the past is now the best, and we are going backwards!

Oh well, Back to the Future eh?

You can only master technology if you are aged 3 to 20. Older people like me are its servant

[/highlight]

And me!!  How right you are Varche! :

[Lizzie Zoom]

I hear what all you old fashioned people (like me!) are saying.  I still love my collection of vinyl, even though my youngest brother has all my LP's in apparent safe keeping. I still have all my 45's, singles and EP's, then my collection of CD's which are a repition of all my vinyls.

But when do I play them? Yes, in the car I play my CD's, but all the vinyls are all just in store. If I buy a new CD, I will play it a dozen times, then file it with the rest!

With this Apple Music malarky I can store as many albums that I am interested in, plus add to my collection, all for just £9.99 per month. Then when I tire of any, I can simply delete and forget them in favour of newer releases. Plus that £9.99 is allowing me to load up a grandsons iPod, two iPads, my PC, and my phone.  All can be played through Bluetooth sound bars, let alone a iPod  docking station.

What could be simpler?  No record decks, no wires, no storage required, and all so transferable under my account log in.  Loss of sound quality? Yes, maybe to the keen music ear, but to me the sound through a soundbar and docking station is perfectly good enough.  It is nothing like the sound coming out of the horn of the wind-up  gammophone I used to own after buying it for 2/- in 1965!

I have somewhere in the region of 2,000 CDs, plus another couple of hundred vinyl LPs. They're all over the place. On shelves in the kitchen, in drawers in a chest, and even in simple CD racks stacked on top of each other. It's somehow more fun browsing through them instead of looking at or scrolling through a list on a screen. I have CDs in the kitchen ? yes that's where I listen to most music, VERY loud, when cooking

For general listening i'm using this all the time now at home and in car .
Create your own genre/artist singly or similar.
Be warned though you'll find new artists or old forgotten ones and be straight onto ebay and Music Magpie.

[2boxerdogs]

Sold all my vinyl earlier this year but every single one has been replaced by CD, not into this ultra modern downloading /streaming .

[BazaJT]

I still have a fair number of records[but at present no record player!]my cassettes I binned a long time ago and I have loads of CDs I've never had any of these new fangled gizmos for listening to music and no intention of getting any either.I'm happy to stick with vinyl/CD/radio.
