theodp writes "With a warmer, more nuanced sound than CDs or MP3s and large album covers with imaginative graphics, pullout photos and liner notes, Newsweek reports that vinyl records are suddenly cool again. 'Bad sound on an iPod has had an impact on a lot of people going back to vinyl,' says 15-year-old David MacRunnel, who owns more than 1,000 records."

  Vinyl has its own lovely forward ambiance, as if the musicians were in the same room with you. You can hear the subtle sounds of bow sliding across reeds, for instance. And there's much more room for art on the covers, and lyrics on the innards. Vinyl records are decorative and aurally aesthetic. Vinyl rules.
