Vinyl set to outsell CDs for first time since 1986
Would some one please enlighten me as to what on God's green earth is going on with vinyl?  It's less dense, lower-quality, degrades with use, and is more expensive.  It's probably less environmentally-friendly, too (though I'm not sure what it's target demographic is, so I don't know if that means much).  Why is vinyl popular, all of a sudden?  I had to rip all my grandmother's vinyl records, once, and it was a pain in the be-hind.  I'm not sure why any one would willingly subject himself to that when better alternatives exist.  I thought it was dead as of long ago.
