I like vinyl, and I’ve written about it before. I read an article today that talks about vinyl out lasting CD’s, and the increase in vinyl sales in recent years. The major labels haven’t recognized this yet (so says the article) but they are confident it is becoming more popular again. They suggest that people prefer to by the vinyl for home listening, and mp3′s for portable music. A number of record labels are including free downloads of albums in mp3 when you purchase the vinyl record. Sounds like a great deal to me. [via wired]
