    Quoted from heni1977:

    CD's have died and vinyl is coming back!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not sure if you are joking or not...

    I think vinyl is the best way to go right now for music purchases. You get a large version of the album artwork, and all the inserts, etc that go with it. Most of the time as well, you get a digital download card. So not only do you get a nice piece of artwork to look at and display while you play an album, but You also get a digital copy. All for under $20. Some times under $10.

    Ive got a record player space for listening to records, and I have my bluetooth devices to do spotify. If I am humming or singing a song or songs off an album long enough, I feel the obligation to buy the LP.

    I used to rip CDs like crazy, download like crazy, trade with other people, and store all this digital music. The organization required alone is maddening and ultimately caused me to give up on all that. Ive got about a TB of music from 1900-2015...i slowed down considerably after 2015.

    Quoted from toyotaboy:

    I doubt I would start a thread, there isn't much to setting up the software. The software I was messing around with is called Zenpoint digital center. Here's a video of some other guy showing it off:
    » YouTube video
    There's a trial version, the full version is $39? He talks about buying a touchscreen from monoprice, but a 24" monitor is still going to run you $300. I bought a working 21" touch monitor for like $50 on ebay. Basically it was a hospital monitor, corner of the bezel got a crack so they sold it off. If your'e really interested, I would go download the software on your computer, use your mouse to click around, see how to setup directories and have it auto grab album art.. If you like it, you can go to the next step of finding a monitor, whatever desktop you want to use with it, and a nice amp/speaker setup.

    I have NOT had luck with zenpoint. It only recognizes a portion of my music, and when I retagged with picard, it recognized even less. I gave up. Takes an hour to load up too, very annoying.

    Quoted from Cycloneman:

    todays music is horrible and the sad part is todays singers are getting paid record amounts of money for songs that are no where near as good as the older singers-groups-songs

    Typical old man opinion. Look around, its not all on the radio

    well no reason to thumb me down

    Thumbs mean nothing other than i dont agree with you. Dont take them personally. This isnt Facebook.

    Quoted from Sinestro:

    Neither vinyl, tapes, or CD's are "coming back". Legacy formats surviving is a niche market is NOT the same thing as "coming back".
    Please note, I'm not ripping on people using them. I occasionally like dipping back into older formats. But let's not confuse a healthy niche market with "coming back".

    Dude, they sell vinyl at crate and barrel. Its back baby.

    Quoted from Sinestro:

    If that’s your criteria for success........

    Im just saying that if its made its way into retail furniture outlets, then its definitely on the upswing. Ive seen then at target as well.

    There are a few really big record shops out here too, doing very well
