NO, *definitely* digitise it so you don't wear the album or stylus every

How is listening to a digitized LP more convenient than just playing it
- assuming you haven't thrown away your record player?


Well not having to clean the records and swap sides every 15-20 minutes
is a pretty good start IMO.

This may be a
good method for someone who plays a record over and over and over until
it wears out, but Nate isn't a teenager and I'm sure he takes good care
of his records.


As do I, by NOT playing them more than I have to!


When you own hundreds, or a couple of thousand records, you won't live
long enough to play them all enough to wear them out. Or maybe you will.


Yep I still own thousands, and some of them I'd never wear out for
certain. But they are ones I probably will never get around to
digitising anyway. The stylus still wears though, and they are NOT
cheap, at least mine aren't, perhaps yours are. Or you just have more
money than sense, which might not be too hard I guess going by your
recent posts.
