We had a party the other night and played records. There's no equivalent to the physical object of a record, CD or tape. If they're displayed well, it's so much easier and more inviting for someone to thumb through them and pick something out. How many people casually stroll over to your iPod or computer and start flipping through your MP3's? Nobody, or at least almost nobody (I actually might). It's a much more social way to consume music imo. Plus album art and liner notes are actually cooler in this format. I'm not the guy that beats the "it sounds better" drum, but I really enjoy my records for the artifact.
