Tru dat, man!!!

Younger, I romanticized the idea of having walls of vinyl, like an antique collector, now I'd rather have it all on some external drives under the desk! No bullshit!!!



...Labels cut us some slack and release the Flac!!!

Dunno if they'll hear us with all the wax in their ears :roll:

Wouldn't you prefer a true WAV or FLAC, rather than a vinyl rip?

Lets not forget that the labels can upcharge for a FLAC/wav version so they stand to make a larger profit over vinyl.

Serato plays WAVs. FLACs no, but it's not exactly tricky to convert them. Could take up a whole bunch of HDD space if you have loads though I guess.
