Hello Roy.

I happened to own a 16 rpm LP, and am sorry that now that the ability to 
transfer it to another more accesable medium, is available, that, I no longer 
have it. It had some very good JAZZ on it. :-)

Well for the first time in ages LP's outsold music cassettes last year. :-)

Vinyl still has a strong following, turntable sales are also doing reasonably 
well, all things considered.

I have a Pioneer and a JVC turntables that have 33 and 45 speeds, and a Rega 
Planar 3 which only plays at 33 rpm.
