Does anyone else still play records?>

For the most part, no. Since I enjoy always having music around me, the 
portability factor has always been important. Back in the days of vinyl, 
I'd buy records and cases of blank Maxell tapes so that I could tape the 
albums and play them in the car or any location that had a tape deck or 
somewhere I could take my jambox. When CD's came out, their portability 
made LP's obsolete overnight for me, not to mention the lack of pops and 
the programability. Now that everything is in the "cloud", buying CD's has 
become obsolete. I can stream whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I 
want. Sucks for records stores and artists, I know that.

Having said that, my neighbor bought a bunch of high-end stereo stuff on 
Craig's List, brought it all up to speed mechanically and has a setup in 
his man-cave and we'll sip beverages while listening to vinyl. He wanted 
an intro to Tom Waits so we started from the beginning, made it to Blue 
Valentine and now he wants an intro to Joni. We'll start with Clouds at 
some point. I think the simplicity of the instrumentation and compositions 
will be more appealing to him than STAS. And, for the most part we use my 
tablet, plugged into his system rather than play vinyl.

Similarly, I have a table that plugs into my Philips CD Burner. I use it 
to convert vinyl Joni covers to digital. Just got 3 albums this week in 
fact to do; 1 Woodstock, 1 River, 1 BSN.

I do have to say that pulling out those vinyl records brings back a bunch 
of good memories.
