What Are The Chances Of Vinyl Records Replacing Cds Mp3s And Ipods

How to fix records skipping in the same place each song?

I have a few records that keep skipping in the same places in songs, and I don't understand why. They are all pretty new, and I make sure to blow dust off them before I play. Even though the record player I have doesn't have a counterweight on the tone arm, I don't think it's the player because the songs skip in the same place every time. One song on a record is so bad it runs about a minute and a half shorter than it should. Is this something I can fix, and if so, how? Would cleaning them for dirt that I might not be able to see work?

Why are vinyl records making a comeback?

why are I don't see the reasoning of why vinyl records are making a comeback... First of all , they take up more space, second they dont last very long when comparing to cds and third they are prone to scratches that results to skipping

Will CDs become as desirable as Vinyl records?

In my opinion no; and the reason is a simple oneWhen dinosaurs ruled the Earth the long playing album and the short playing single on vinyl were the way to consume music - every other format from cassette to 8 track to CD to mini disc utterly failed to emotionally replace vinyl as the way to enjoy music not just listen to it. Vinyl is seen as being at the heart of the music experience: On one level it's teenagers sitting in bedrooms and garages devouring whatever they could beg, borrow or steal from friends or shops often on really crappy portable turntables. At another level it's the serious muso who rearranged his living room to get the perfect sound from a hifi dropping the needle on a Pink Floyd album or something German and impenetrable. On another it's a DJ juggling records on a twin turntable in a basement club or a crappy radio station or Jamaican sound system, And actually there are countless others.No other format came close to capturing the magic of any of the above situations and none will - it's hardwired into us to be in love with vinyl; the scratch and hiss, the click of the run out track, the drop of the needle, spin the black circle, spinning wax, poring over the inner and outer sleeve searching for something no one else knows, dissecting the lyrics... nothing about the CD experience comes close.Arguably the humble cassette tape - particularly home made compilations carry a greater emotional attachment than CD's ever will

Why is vinyl becoming popular again when CDs are more portable?

The answer is in the question…In the 90’s we needed CDs to be portable… we used discmans and took CDs to friends houses…Now we don’t need a physical format to be portable, we use our phones or share a playlist.People who still buy music in a physical format want something to look at, something to touch, something that doesn’t sound sterile… Vinyl beats CDs on all counts. Couple that with most vinyl coming with a code to download an MP3 and you’re left with no reason to buy a CD.

Can FLAC rips of vinyl replace vinyl itself sonically?

Sonically? Yes, absolutely. Record the vinyl to AIFF or WAV at 96k/128bit using a high quality ADC, convert to FLAC, and your resulting file will be virtually indistinguishable from the original to the human ear. (I qualify that because some people will try to convince you otherwise, but there have been a sufficient number of studies in audio quality comparisons to convince me that in a blind test, chances are very high neither you nor anyone else will be able to tell. Here's a great source: Testing audiophile claims and myths )As other writers point out, you don't get the joy of handling the physical media or appreciating the subtle deterioration of sound over time, but those are subjective.

How many grooves were there on an old-fashioned vinyl record?
