Re: [bomp] Study Says Teens Prefer Vinyl
This is crap! A teenager has about as much chance of getting a hold of a record they like and a turntable as they are able to get behind the wheel of a Shelby. With that in mind how are they going to decide - vinyl or digital?
Rephase it this way, a fifteen year old goes down to the mall, pick up the The Killers album. Is it a CD or vinyl? And how is it going to be listened to? At a 128bit sample rate MP3.
Nope.....don't believe it.
