 being mainly a CD listener, i've yet to figure out exactly why so 
 many people listen to (and prefer) vinyl over CDs...to me, vinyl is 
 an inconvenience, especially since i like to take my music with me...
 what i figure to be the main reason is so that turntable dj's can mix 
 them, but what about the home listener that doesn't do any mixing?
 i am also familiar with traditionalist anti-CD sentiments (esp those 
 worded by negativland in their anti-CD essay), but am curious as to 
 know how many IDMers listen to vinyl as a matter of tradition as 
 opposed to practicality...
 now, don't get me wrong, i'm not against vinyl...i own several 
 myself, but i just find that i listen to my CDs alot more than 
 vinyl...
