You see them all over the place, and I don't think vinyl records are going anywhere, and it seems that it could last longer than the compact disc (CD) itself, which seems to be fading away as mp3s and downloadable content replace the CD as CD sales drop considerably.
While its true that more people continue to buy CDs than vinyl records, vinyl records continue to stand the test of time. Its 2008 and as of this post and I just bought Mariah Carey's E=mc2 LP from an online record store on vinyl!!, and I also got 2 different 12" singles from her album , 'Touch my body' (domestic 12") and a 'Touch my body' a 12" UK vinyl picture disc from 2 other online record shops. These I add to my 10 crates of vinyl 12" singles and LP albums.
Vinyl records continue to be a hot niche item and people are buying more turntables to either convert their old vinyl to mp3s or cdrs, or just to casual listen to those yesteryear vibes. Right now, I'm not converting anything to cdr, and just listening to it straight using my Audio Technica AT-PL120 direct drive turntable with a standard AT 3600 stylus. Sounds oh so sweet, nothing better than an analog sound
