Leeneia: I must confess that getting rid of the vinyl was the goal of all this. However, I have a friend whose young nephew is a DJ, and all he and his buddies will use is vinyl. And I understand that some firms are issuing new vinyl. Man, I get so confused by all this.

My kids get loads of their new music on vinyl. They've all insisted on good turntables for their music systems.

It's a bit of a kudos thing...downloaded versions on their various players and PCs, but having the vinylversion as well, especially if it's a limited edition vinyl a a lot of them are, gives great cachet.

Look at the options here for instance:

The Suburbs

You can order just digital in a variety of qualities, CD plus download or 12 inch vinyl plus download. This is fairly typical of indie and more porogressive mainstream bands these days.

I recently bought my first vinyl singles in several years!
