With a few thousand vinyl albums I could never give up on it. However I have a few thousand CDs too and they DO take up less space.

What I REALLY miss about Vinyl are the covers. Buying a new LP was an adventure because you could listen while taking in the cover too. With CDs (and the failing eyesight bought on by the ageing process) you need a magnifying glass to get a similar experience.

Plus....CD covers don't make for a good "Rolling Surface"......
