Stephen, it is really hard to beat the convenience of streaming. And for the music lover, the sheer giddiness of having access to a library of more music than you can listen to in a lifetime, is enthralling. I truly hope someday streaming audio quality reaches audiophile levels.

Vinyl requires a real commitment of time, effort, and space. But it is compelling for those of us raised on its pleasures (and pains.) And it is interesting to see some of the younger generations adopting it, and learning to love it.
