Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

The article is written by a philosophy professor. No credentials AFAIC.

I gave up thinking one is "better" than the other, after hearing plenty of great digital setups. The only thing about them is, I still find myself comparing the sound of a track with the LP copy. f

That said, playing an LP still has an unexplainable magic, a "perfect" file  has yet to replicate.
