As Heavy Metal was my first musical love in, I have to disagree about vinyl. There is nothing like a gatefold sleeve with great artwork and readable sleeve notes and YES in terms of say Jazz and Rock the sound quality is better. Sure they are cumbersome but vinyl was a big part of my formative years and I sincerely regret getting rid of my vinyl years ago.

MP3' sure are easier to carry around but the quality will always suffer and I can definitely hear compression in them and I'm not being a stuck up audiophile. If you are a music lover then (money permitting) you should listen to music on the best possible kit you can buy and in the best possible format too.
