I would have kept all my LPs (I actually don't throw anything away :shock: ) but I had to move countries so I copied the LPs to tapes and sold the LPs. (sadly there were no CD recorders then :( ) Now I hardly listen to the tapes and I worry about their degrading quality.
I should copy them to CDs I know :!:

As soon as I settle I will do the same. Have all the LPs recorded on CDs or DVDs or even BluRay... But I won't throw the LPs away. Too precious.

Maybe but the CD player at home or in the car doesn't play DVD.

I just started getting into MP3 and perhaps that is the way to go but somehow I feel that LPs have the best sound then CDs then MP3s.

Mostly better than mp3s. CDs though are doing a good job. Depends on the player too. I have an old old old gramophone. Its quality is unbeatable.

Problem is that LPs are very heavy (when you have over a hundred) and when you are a student you cannot afford to ship them 3000 miles away :D

BluRay or HD-DVD, perhaps one could have the whole collection on one of those :shock:

As long as you enjoy what you listen to it probably doesn't matter what format.

My music is on CD, mp3 on my laptop (around 50% of my collection), mp3 on my PSP and mp3 on my phone. Don't think I can handle an more devices :wink:

Yes, but I think I understand what Ed says. There is a certain warmth to the sound when you listen to an LP which you don't get from an mp3. Even the background hiss is sort of cool 8)
