I don't know why so many people here are so threatened by the idea that other people still listen to vinyl. Why do you even care?!?

Vinyl works for me because I was lucky enough to grow up with it and for a number of reasons, it's a lot of fun to collect, just as comic books and baseball cards are fun to collect for other people. My attachments may be romantic and aesthetic, but I'm not hurting anyone by having them, and I'm not shoving them down anyone's throats.

I am quite happy to embrace CD's and digital downloads also because they both have their place and I think all of these formats can co-exist. Quit buying into the idea that you have to reject the past in order to embrace the future - that's just a corporate/media construct designed to get you to buy more things.

Sorry for going off topic but this same drumbeat gets really tiresome. Think for yourself, live and let live, and be happy with what you have to be happy with.
