That's a bit of a shaky argument.

It's a bit like when old people go on about us young'uns "not knowing we're born" because they had to walk everywhere and get their water out of a well, when we use cars / public transport and have clean running water. Of course, they don't genuinely for a minute wish that we had to go through the discomfort - they're just bitter because they did.

OK, so you've had to go to great lengths to get your vinyl collection... are you honestly telling me it wasn't kind of fun along the way? If not, then fair enough, you have my sympathy... why did you bother?

If it was fun, then the fact that "some snot nosed bangwagon jumpers" can have the "same" music for free shouldn't bother you - because you know (as I do) that sometimes the point of a journey is not the destination, but what happens along the way.

... and that's the key, isn't it.

We'll keep buying vinyl regardless of it's shortcomings because it's cool, and we love it. But that doesn't mean we should necessarily shun newer technology. The real winners will embrace everything and use it all to it's various advantages.
