meh CD's aren't a huge improvement over vinyls in my opinion. They may be double the length but I guarantee they won't last as long.

But when was the last time you tried to burn your favorite aircraft files to vinyl?

I actually prefer listening to music from vinyl, but I disagree about the cd not lasting as long as a record. Here is a test,
Play your favorite vinyl album 100 times in a row
now play that same album recorded on cd 100 times in a row.
You tell me which one sounds better

Not sure about the longevity issue. Suppose it depends how each is treated and looked after, but I imagine the fact that CD's don't have any 'surface contact' (it's a laser), they would play more times before wearing - I only suppose as I don't know much about it.

One thing I must say though. The quality of digital sound over that of analogue is so superior, it would outweigh any other advantage vinyl might have. There's just no comparison.
