Is Vinyl and CD making a Comeback?

The collectors I know insist it's got a preferable "warm" sound to the recordings that I've never really discerned myself. Not that I've really tried. I can see the appeal in the size of the artwork though. I'd like to have a small collection of my favourite albums, if only to display the artwork.

This is pretty much what I'm trying to do with my vinyl collection.

I'm slowly legitimizing my library of illegally obtained music, one favourite at a time.

I know many people who claim that vinyl sounds better than other ways to listen to music. My brother and a close friend of mine are both vinyl lovers. Personally, I find them to be more work than they're worth.

As for CD's, I use them constantly. I don't own a working MP3 player, so a CD is all I can use away from my computer.
