I listen to CDs. This is not really a choice of asthetics but simply because my CD player is better than my record player, and i'm not about to go buy a record player when I can just keep that money and buy more CD's. Besides they're relativly portable and all my friends have CD players. THe only people I know who've got record players are some DJ's I know. And why they stick to the records as opposed to CD's? I assume it's the same reason as why I stick to the CD's. Until some famous person declares that DJing with CDs is cool I think records will remain at the front of dj technology. However i'm not really thinging of scratch dj's, thats totally different. But simply mixing two records together kinda DJs. > 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... > > -brad > <Jon>m
