I love vinyl for the sound and some of the extras they threw onto records when they were trying to sell more, like split grooves. However while I prefer the sound, there is no doubt that CDs and MP3s are easier to manage, store, and listen to. One scratch on a record and listening to it requires making a digital version and a hefty cleanup job, but then I have had a couple of CDs shatter and the tracks on them are gone for good.
