I hear what all you old fashioned people (like me!) are saying. I still love my collection of vinyl, even though my youngest brother has all my LP's in apparent safe keeping. I still have all my 45's, singles and EP's, then my collection of CD's which are a repition of all my vinyls.
But when do I play them? Yes, in the car I play my CD's, but all the vinyls are all just in store. If I buy a new CD, I will play it a dozen times, then file it with the rest!
With this Apple Music malarky I can store as many albums that I am interested in, plus add to my collection, all for just £9.99 per month. Then when I tire of any, I can simply delete and forget them in favour of newer releases. Plus that £9.99 is allowing me to load up a grandsons iPod, two iPads, my PC, and my phone. All can be played through Bluetooth sound bars, let alone a iPod docking station.
What could be simpler? No record decks, no wires, no storage required, and all so transferable under my account log in. Loss of sound quality? Yes, maybe to the keen music ear, but to me the sound through a soundbar and docking station is perfectly good enough. It is nothing like the sound coming out of the horn of the wind-up gammophone I used to own after buying it for 2/- in 1965!
