Vinyl makes a comeback
It’s no secret that CD sales are down, but did you know that according to the RIAA’s 2007 sales report more people are now buying vinyl records! While CD unit sales declined 11.7 percent, with revenue falling 20.5 percent, the American market saw an increase of 36.6 percent for sales of EP’s and LP’s in 2007.
It should be noted however that vinyl sales represent a significantly low portion of overall sales. In 2007 over 500 million CD’s were shipped out, while only 1.3 million vinyl records were shipped.

Yea, I’ve seen these figures too, and they look promising. I just bought myself a nice Linn-Sondek turntable. But I still think, at this stage, vinyl is for DJ’s and collector’s only.
