Good for people who buy vinyl who may not necessarily have easy access to a turntable at the time.

There is one advantage of physical media over digital….you’ll have it even if the digital media giants go dark/close up shop. Even if the electric grid goes down, you can still hook up a wire to a solar panel (simplified example for sake of argument) and play your record player, or what have you. If you have the physical book, you can read it whether you have internet access or not, electricity or not.

There’s something to be said for that.

Define never left when Digital Sales literally blow physical copies out of the water...

Sony, now it's your turn: ressurect the Flamingo (a.k.a. PS-F5/F9)

“ThE sOuNd Is So MuCh WaRmEr!!!”

>CD/DVDs aren’t coming back.

Well, can’t come back when they’ve never left…

And legal. But mostly replaced with e-fax like services.

The difference is that analog doesn’t perfectly recreate a digital media so there’s valid reasons to use film or records. There’s no reason to use a digital medium other than the most portable or durable format assuming equal quality of output

And Kodak can't make film fast enough to meet demand. Everything old is new again. Pretty wacky.

The OS will no longer get updates, but the computer is fine. Just put linux on it or something.

Here I'd thought education would be to an advanced degree......

And to a lesser degree, education.

You can't compare an analog media to a digital one. CDs/DVDs aren't coming back.

Was hoping this would be a linear tracking TT like the Sony portables but alas. Still fun to see a resurrection.

It’s why I absolutely refuse to entertain the cynical notion that physical media will ever die out.

Perfect for my camping trips!

Finally I can send my analog audio over Bluetooth on the go! /s

Perfect for my portable collection of vinyls.
