"The annals of tech are littered with 'better' things that we abandoned in favor of more convenient things. We dropped vinyl in favor of CDs, and then dropped CDs in favor of MP3s, even though each new technology offered lower audio fidelity than the previous one."
-Farhad Manjoo, Slate
While I understand the lure and necessity of convenience, I don't think it's worthwhile to accept convenience over quality without thinking about it. Make the sacrifice of quality if you have to (we all do at some point or another) but know that you're doing it, and know why you're doing it. And if you can, listen to it on vinyl. It sounds so much prettier.
