Glad to see that my belated post in this thread kicked off a lot of good discussion.

Definitely. I find it easier to keep track of a physical object instead of some file on some computer or hard drive somewhere. Also can rip at whatever bit rate I want, and re-rip later at even higher bit-rate if I get a portable device with more memory.

Oh yes, those are awesome too.

I lost my discwasher, so I had to give up on vinyl :-)

I still have a few old albums in a box in the basement, figure I'll let my kids pitch them when I'm gone (along with the old calculators). Pretty sure I have a copy of Roger Waters' "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" on which the hitchhiker's behind on the cover has not been blacked out.
