CD is my preferred format and i always rip cds into Apple Lossless for my ipod, but i listen to a lot of mp3s as well. I would listen to vinyl but my turntable has bitten the dust.

Then now is the time to think about getting a new turntable that can convert analogue to digitial.

I listen to CDs I like the feature of skip, repeat, random on CD players something record players don't have, but I prefer LPs for sound, dispite thier fault. And you can convert them to mp3 etc.

That's a good point, with the way things are going CDs could become obsolete in the near future. The main advantage of a cd over vinyl was it's compactness, you could slip a cd into your discman and listen to it wherever. But now mp3 players have taken over and people only listen to cds at home on their stereo, but why listen to a cd at home when you could listen to a vinyl record with better sound reproduction.

I probably will get a new turntable soon but i'm a bit weary of converting vinyl to digital, i'm not really sure what the sound quality of the file would be like. But a lot of new records come with download codes so you can download the digital product as well.
