Will vinyl become the dominant format? I listen to audiobooks and buy plenty of them and I don’t have room for nor want vinyl records. Will vinyl records become the dominant format?

I see that there are a lot of releases on vinyl records these days. Are there any advantages to vinyl over CDs? (I have over 600 CDs.) Vinyl records degrade over time because of physical contact with the needle, right?

I have lots of vinyl records (cos I’m old) and feel cheated having to buy the same stuff again in digital. How can I transfer the vinyl onto the computer?

I have an idea for the decoration of my room which involves about 40 vinyl records. I’ve looked on eBay but can’t find any that will ship to the Philippines. Plus, shipping is expensive. Is there anywhere in the Philippines where I could buy really cheap 12 vinyl records? (i don’t care if they’re broken)

I have a ton of vinyl records and would like to be able to put them onto my computer so I can transfer them to an iPod or a Zune so I can listen to them. How do you get music off of vinyl and onto a computer in Mp3 format? I have a record player and a computer, but no idea how to link the 2. Suggestions?

I am a home user with a AMD/Windows XP machine. I want to transter the music on my old vinyl records to the computer and then to CD. I am a medium level user. Want something easy to use that will give reasonable fidelity.

Hi.
I just bought some 7 records off eBay, but they have arrived stinking of smoke! I’ve had a look at different ways to remove smoke smells from different things, but not vinyl records. Does anybody know what I can do to get rid of it. it’s not too strong, but it still smells and i hate it!

Hope you can all help me, thanks a lot =D

Also, how do i remove smoke from the sleeves. Will soap and water be ok, or will it damage them? I’m thinking it will be ok.

I have a bunch of 12′ and 7′ vinyl records and I don’t know the value of them, I was planning on putting them up on kijiji for someone else to enjoy. But I don’t know how much I should sell them for?

Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks guys

I don’t own any vinyl records; I’m just wondering. You own the songs, but it seems odd that you can’t import the songs on vinyls as mp3s so I don’t buy them. I’ll only wait until I see a very legendary album on a vinyl record for a low price when I buy one, although I probably will already have the CD version.

Also, would it still be supporting the artist if somebody buys a vinyl record or cassette and they download the mp3 for free?

I have about 400 vinyl records (mainly 80’s rock/hair metal). A lot of them were rare imports when I bought them at the time and I’m looking to getting rid of them.
