Article: Why vinyl records survive in the digital age

Well put.

"I think the real reason for vinyl's return goes much deeper than questions of sound quality. As media analyst Marshall McLuhan famously wrote, 'The medium is the message.' In other words, 'the form of a medium embeds itself in any message it would transmit or convey, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.' Nowhere does this hold truer than in the world of recorded sound."
