Well said.

The Who's "Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy." :-)

You could always put the vinyl version on your iPod! I have quite a bit of vinyl recordings on mine. You don't even need bloaty iTunes software anymore either, if you don't want. I use Foobar with the iTunes plug-in to manage music on it.

I’m workin’ on transferring my vinyl to digital. (I use Terratec phono amp to do it, along with “vinyl restoration” software when necessary to remove pops and clicks and surface noise.)

But with over 600 albums and 350 “45” singles, and the recording process having to happen in real time, it’s going to take me forever.

I like Bob Dylan’s quote about the modern recording process. In response to the music industry’s complaints that illegal downloading means that people are getting their music for free, he said, “Well, why not? It ain’t worth nothing anyway.” He was mainly talking about the quality of the recording rather than the music itself (although I think the comment could apply to most of the music being made these days also, IMO).
