You're not the only one.

Not only that,  but the fact that I don't have my turntable set up at this
point and don't think that there's a place in this small apartment for me
to do so.  So I have all this stuff on vinyl that hasn't been touched in a
bunch of years...

The other aspect of it is the convenience of the digital format.  I can do
things with playlists and such,  not hear the tracks that I don't like as
much all that often,  stuff like that.  And make *backup copies*.  Or burn
my own CDs with what I want on 'em and in what order.

I gotta get going with this stuff...
