Of interest?
I for one never thought we'd surpass the CD then Napster came and went :( and the world turned ugly.

Quote:
Sales of vinyl records have outstripped digital music sales for the first time in the UK, with audiophiles spending 2.4 million pounds ($4 million) on vinyl records last week, versus the 2.1 million pounds spent on digital downloads, according to Official Charts data.

the fact that people consume music like crazy but only spent £2.1m on digital downloads speaks to the ease with which people get music for free :|

People are buying vinyl as collector's items. It's something tangible that you can display and show people versus just a digital download which you can just as easily get for free, probably easier without having to sign up for email lists and signing a dodgy DRM agreement, etc.
