No one cares about magnetic tape, It's not that great, but it also isn't old enough to be hip, poor magnetic tape, a cassaette tape can still hold more than your average cd, plus it's cheap and easy to record on.
It's true, all the others you can explain in simple terms, but not vinyl, put a needle in the groove and turn it, music just comes out, it can actually be listened to without electricity.
Is MP3 the medium or is it the MP3 Player? because MP3s are on a disc....technically...and if were talking file extensions then WAV is the best because it's the best possible quality but it takes up huge space (snorts LAKA geek).
Anywaaaay.....ipoRAB are definately the best but you need either CRAB Or MP3s in the first place to put music onto your ipod.
Vinyl is cool because you have to baby your recorRAB. Any slob can own a CD collection, but if you're gonna' have a vinyl collection and keep listening to it at all you have to love your music like it was your child.
Yeah, It's all but forgotten, Everyone cares about convience now, just look at McdonalRAB, Walmart and mp3s, conveince over Quality, That's the american way,.
