Go back to vinyl records?
Some time ago I read a story that caught my attention enough: It turns out that in an American supermarket chain, someone in charge of general administration requested more copies of REM's Accelerate album to be offered in stores and by checking the appropriate box to the format you want them, did a 'check' in the space for 'vinyl' but by mistake, because his intention was to acquire a number of digital copies to put on sale.
When he realized the error, some of long duration and were circulating through the different branches and even managed to restore most, had to stay with them in a couple of shops.
Great was the surprise was seeing that these vinyls were sold at a better pace than CDs and since then, the chain decided to have them regularly.
However, given the fact that the U.S. music market is the largest in the world, what we are facing an imminent resurgence of coal endearing album?
en más de 35% , cifras que nos ponen a pensar pero que no significan mucho realmente, pues el volumen de discos compactos en venta es un promedio de trescientas cincuenta veces mayor que el del ' plástico negro '. If we get the numbers, last year the sale of CDs fell by nearly 20% while that of vinyl records increased by more than 35%, figures that make us think but do not really mean much, as the volume of records CDs for sale is an average of three hundred fifty times greater than that of 'black plastic'.
What is certain is that the latter are beginning to sell at a higher frequency: Many bands and artists now draw productions to the market, they do so in this format and above are important reissues of albums that added at cost plus economic-which generally hold, especially those older editions that are offered at very low prices in international exhibitions and / or markets, result in a slower but still marked return to coal.
But the reality is that half or more of the current music consumers have never bought, or buy an album, since nearly all-or-is available on the Internet and in most cases illegally.
Besides, you really can against the thousands of songs that now fit on a mobile phone or an iPod? Will you let your music listening when you go in the car? Will we be willing to return to the lack of space, the fragility, the possibility of wear or damage in a short time? ...
So, is it really possible comeback of vinyl?
It'll take a pretty accurate review of an employee of Radio City Store, which I was able to read in the Spanish newspaper El Pais:
"What was done with vinyl was not natural. Attempts were exterminated. But it need not be. Television did not kill radio, because radio has an amazing charm ... and the vinyl as well ... And now the radio is in good health and eating it tele Internet. Well maybe the same thing happens: in the end, the vinyl format is the sole physical. "
I conclude with a vinyl remember talking to me comes to mind: One issue I used to hear as a child, lying in my bed unable to sleep, never stop ringing in the sporadic meetings that some relatives were in the house of my parents .
I can still recall the number of LPs to be stowed and colorful on the coffee table, waiting to be played on those days when, indeed, everything was better last time.

Industry wants to cling to themselves ousted format for quite some time ago, when he appeared on CD.
Why not strive so much to post news and speculate on something that is a lie, as is ¨ that sales of vinyl have grown ¨, that's a big lie, that of vinyl records, and left. People are not and will never be ready to re-buy the same discs that once had to throw out or change to CD's.
I believe that change does not go through the involution of the physical format using the search industry, but by the evolution of the Industry Through new and innovative ways to sell music. Since the Internet.
What does the industry had a before and after the emergence of the Internet.
It is something to see the news as record store are closing one by one.
It's every day, the hardware has no followers, is becoming obsolete and at some point no longer be any record, or vinyl or cd.
Everything will be digital, and all that will be, will be 2nd hand shop somewhere seedy.
Well,
Internet helps a band is made known, leaving open the possibility of promotion even if companies do not show interest in their work. That's a good thing.
Even knowing that the sound of a carbon disc is incredible (Rock & Roll) and that everything tends toward digital, I do not think there is a 'back to vinyl', much less, but I do not think it will disappear: the different formats coexist amicably, to a greater or lesser extent and the choice one or the other will continue to depend, as always, our tastes and preferences.
Thanks for the visit.
NO and definitely not coming back, but being that, an old record collector like me, but disarmed by the benefactor offers me the possibility that they can carry mp3 technology digitally in the pocket of my trousers around a wall full of dusty vinyl ... rindamonos the evidence with a sound quality more than acceptable, especially if we think that to get a good sound with vinyl we have to become millionaire owners of ultra hi-fi chains with caps and needles priceless diamond igualmante unfindable paid and therefore I give up and prefer friends for comfort, modernity, and especially common sense my portable player, but that if, in my living room is a square meter reserved for one of the three shelves full of vinyl had with a modest plate technics, akai amp, speakers and headphones Senheiser mission, from time to time I let myself fall on the couch and not do anything but receive the notes that push the speakers by sending their electric power directly curvilinear shapes of the elliptical path of a good vinyl and I can not help but a tear escapes me, pleasure?, nostalgia?, do not know ...
Interesting contribution, Felix
"A modest plate technics, akai amp, speakers and headphones Senheiser mission" ... and I went to the fair with my 3 in 1 SONY ...
Thanks for the visit.
Why is it that some prefer the road longer and more difficult to obtain music.
Existing forms and practices easier to obtain, a notebook, a digital sound system 5 speakers and a good cheap ultra broadband.
nothing more ... ..
Boys aver if we understand something: the vinyl and also the mp3, there are two formats that can be marketed well. Each for a different time. The vinyl is to hear the true sound, natural sound at home! mp3 and the sound compressed in the street or in the car. The vinyl back and do it because it is the only format that contains the complete and more nuanced sound than digital. Digital sound is only an imitation of the sound of good vinyl. The lp comes next is even better fidelity and a good plastic to withstand the wear of the pick.
Well Mario,
In music as in most things, everything is a matter of taste: if some people prefer vinyl, well, if there are others who prefer the digital format, too.
Both can coexist in perfect harmony.
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the input, Gabriel.
I feel the same that Mr. Pinto. if I had to choose between a good mp3 player or a small collection of vinyl pink floyd or rolling stones but I'm going to be used for the latter. I love my vinyl collection poseeo a good team but also vintage and low use mp3 music. what you do not have to remove that. Not only can live in perfect harmony, but also complementary. to learn more mp3 music then apply to buy my records, apart from the fact that I hear more mp3 for work. but when I want to hear music with capital letters, feeling the body of sound there is nothing like sitting at your turntable and let go of those feelings that only vinyl can. it's like watching your movie on televison, always see them, but when you look and feel good movies, you're going for a movie, unless you have a great team of home theater. never compare the music on your computer or mp3 player or cd to vinyl on a good team because that if the team depends a lot. fetishism also think there is something very act of owning something that gives you pleasure, never to be compared gear vinyl covers the cold plastic of the CD and even less to the invisibility of the mp3. where there is no physical support.
Indeed Percy.
I think almost like you: the vinyl and digital formats can not only live in perfect harmony, but also complementary.
Currently the second has become virtually indispensable, but these must leave aside the first one ... especially when trying to flood our senses with all the power and fidelity present in a carbon disc.
Happy weekend.
Yes, sir I think what most of you. But there's more, members to the record, how old are we? very difficult to see that the vinyl will survive a few more years. I think it's a bit of nostalgia. We drove discs shops early and it's as if we grew too fast, we become children. But dud that a kid of 18 years to buy a plate and start looking vinyl of the 60 or 70 ... or a jazz fan ... the truth. And hopefully I quivocara
I think there is another point. availability. what will happen in reality is that the vinyl era in a few years more will be more difficult once mas.incluso conseguir.cada which today are quite often disappear what will bring increased value. and if I allow the prophecy will be an article of speculation in the future. which we have between 35 and 50 years due to the relative closeness in time we can still get more or less easily with the discs. but to become collectors' items with ever more adept at future generations of music lovers and collectors will make them very difficult to get material period. each time it leaves a lot important collectors plate material and would not let go. Not easily broken.
Fortunately there are modern editions of the classics (in Europe never stopped re-edited) to fill that void. but they are expensive. I have several re-releases 2007 - 2008 of some groups like the clash, depeche mode and pink floyd. but when I see the season is something else.
Those who believe that vinyl will disappear, are in error, it is forecast that the CD will disappear and the vinyl with no physical media. Why? ... Because there will always be people who will know the quality difference. Digital formats may appear better, with greater dynamic range and bandwidth, but there is one detail are all digital and digital to our ear is not there is the detail. The analog vinyl to be in perfect harmony with our auditory organs are also analog.
Unfortunately most of the younger generation have never had this feeling that causes the vinyl because I never have heard. But a good ear will immediately notice the rich overtones and harmonics that cause the vinyl to our senses, a pleasure that never will give you the CDs. Make me laugh the technical explanations, scientific experts are on benefits or advantages of the CD is better, it sounds clearer, blah, blah, blah, for God to understand the subjective quality can never be measured or explained scientifically, that innate quality that can be heard on vinyl is experiential.
What a shame that kids now have never heard a good recording, including a 128 kbps MP3 recontra are happy. If for some reason you want to convert your discs to the hard drive of your computer does not compress, use a good team, a good cable and burn wav format will occupy more space but it's worth, forget OGG, AAC, MP3, WMA, etc. all these are rubbish. But beware ah, never on your computer you'll hear the same, but at least keep it in case of loss or deterioration of the original. Thank you.
All work to sell vinyl, will not be more than history in a couple of years.
As said the owner of a label, the vinyl does not contribute money, is very expensive production. And if you do not bring money, is not only a matter of time for a little and disposed of is no more than history records.
Commercially speaking:
Past performance is no guarantee of future today, where there is a relentless e-business and already far exceeds the profits from physical formats.
Do not forget the past, the value of a shortage was so hard, nowadays information is available to anyone.
If you before had to go to a store and walk the disc trays, today is nothing more than turn on the computer and 0.99 U.S. to download a new theme that has come on the market.
And letting of nonsense, it is easier and practical to download a track to lose the whole morning or afternoon crack their heads looking for the record that brings up more issues that you do not want to hear or purchase.
I believe there is room for the vinyl today, is a matter of time for removal permanently.
I think that makes vinyl sound quality and nuances that offers digital sound. Interestingly story with the same version of Beethoven's musical pieces on CD (recently acquired) and vinyl (acquired over 20 years). My surprise was that using the same computer, the same amplifier and same speakers, I get a deeper sound, fuller on vinyl records with the laser. I made the transition to CD very quickly and even has records of the year recorded 80 classic in Japan, but his hearing never moved me. Recently, and because they had a vinyl collection that slept the sleep of the righteous, I purchased a plate Rega again and again I'm enjoying the ritual of cleaning and hearing quiet of my old (and new) vinyl records. The ritual, the preparation is very important when enjoying music, just as it is to enjoy a good wine or tea. For the rush and other occasions (equally valid) already have the MP3 and fast food waiting at every corner.
Do not think that I am a mature person nostalgic work in leading Internet companies for over 10 years and I enjoy technological advances. This is not incompatible with the enjoyment of pre-retirement unfairly vinyl.
Fetishism and ritual of listening to music on vinyl, is not synonymous with quality, will be rewarding for some, but for ordinary mortals, that is not only a waste of time.
Another thing, we should not deceive people saying that vinyl sounds better, because it has more harmonics and the sound is clearer.
That is a lie and found physically brutal, and we should not be elitist, not to notice.
The CD gives you a thousand laps on vinyl, Like it or not, I will not go into details, but very brutal to be a turntable in its mechanical aspect, but has a super needle, etc etc.
There is friction between the needle and groove wear, the disc has a wide range sound because of the narrowness of the groove. It's very, very limited in all respects.
And if it be pleasing to the ear, that does not mean it's better than digital.
I think any ordinary normal person would realize that.
