People don’t give a shit if you lose a CD. It belongs on the floor being used as a frisbee or as an inter-highway battle projectile. Records are for all time, you give them to your godson and he gives them to theirs. They are large hopeful pieces of whimsical art - as big as your head - too big for their established purpose but too precious to be handled like a piece of barely tangible imagined electronic sound wave; the format of music as it is handled today. Vinyls mean a lot to people. They are family heirlooms and if you have any forward thought you will make some and save them for the future.
