myself included.
i have all of Prince's 12-inch singles released between 1981 and 1992. i also have mp3s of all of the same 12-inch singles saved on my PC. both my PC and my turntables are hooked up to my living room stereo system (4 speakers). over the weekend i decided i wanted to play these 12-inches while i did cleaning chores. i had a choice...play the records which would require me to go to the turntables every 5 to 10 (or 20) minutes to flip and/or change the records. or i could create a playlist in iTunes w/all the songs i wanted to hear and then go about cleaning w/o having to stop to change the files. i went w/the mp3s. b/c even though the records sound a bit better, i didn't want to be bothered w/the turntable and the records while i was cleaning.
keep in mind, i grew up cleaning house to records on record players, so i know what that's like.
