It's really come to the "automix" type of dj's now EVERYBODY think's he's a dj, gimme a break, I used to spend hours and hundreds of dollars in a record shop, it was so cool, got me out of the house lol.

Being a hip hop deejay or a funk or breaks deejay etc etc used to be about showing off your record collection.Showcasing rare or new or hard to find records that you had put time into digging around to find.Nowadays a lot of deejays just sit at home and download easily accessible MP3s and play those.KEEP IT ANALOG

Vinyl is always gonna be here man, it's just that people don't understand vinyl records. There history, they we're part of the great depressiion, vinyl's are older than my grandpa man. People need a sense of pride in things that helped everyone in musical history. Even hip-hop records, those are 20 years old. It may not be much, but it's still history.

I agree. There's not much point using vinyl if you're not a DJ. However, there is the rare enthusiast that likes the sound of vinyl better than cd's, mp3, etc. Peace

Sorry I misread your comment there, you do have a point about DJ'ing with an iPod making you a poser, but other than DJ'ing, there's really not much use for vinyl anymore.

typo there... i meant to write, dj'ing with an ipod is like guitar hero vs a real guitar.

you're being narrow minded. Turntablism is an art form. There will ALWAYS be vinyl dj's because that is dj'ing in it's purist form. Controlling the record with a large platter. Real scratching. You can't scratch with an ipod. Why do you think they invented Serato and other time coded vinyl systems. Because people love vinyl and want to control the music with vinyl records. ipods are cool for personal listening, not DJ'ing. ipod dj's are posers. That's guitar hero vs real guitar

Vinyl records sounds a lot better to me than CD. Even though the fidelity of CDs are better....to a true music lover, the sounds of that crackling vinyl as it spins is just one of a kind. KEEP THE VINYL, PEOPLE!!!!
