I am intrigued on the issue of how these vinyl discs come back to life. It should be CDs and DVDs because vinyl discs must be good to be stored in the attic not on records store shelves. Right now, people are asking about how it all started? I think I have no good answers to provide to my costumers, a far cry to a vinyl vendor that has been selling discs since in the late 90’s.
It’s not about demand or simple artihmetic, it matters most on the people’s trust on vinyl format because they can’t be easily copied by pirates. Moreover , I sense that their vintage powers are highly admirable because they are unique.
These vinyl records are our remembrance from the past. The golden years of music, where simple joys of listening from them matters to us and. It is pretty obvious that even on movies, vinyl records had been depicted to be a great props.
Time will come that vinyl discs turn tables will once again be displayed on music stores. It gets fascinating everyday.
I just forget about the nostalgia thing, I know old people’s thinking will retrogressed somehow. All I can say is that as an independent music store, vinyl discs have lots of goodies for all of us to enjoy.

The issue on who will survive among music storage playback will be more upbeat because of the resurgence of Vinyl discs on mainstream media. One fatal blow among CDs is that vinyl records hold the most nostalgic object that matters mostly to baby boomers.

Are you annoyed by iTunes DRM? Do you want to strip it off because you want to play the iTunes music on other mobile devices other than iPod and iPhone, use it as background music in a home video, or anything else that DRM limits it to do? Many people know you can strip off the DRM off iTunes music by simply burning the song to a CD, and ripping it back over, losing very little quality(if settings are correct):
1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc into your CD-ROM drive. You’d better use CD-RW disc as it can be used for more than once.
2. Burn your playlist to make an audio CD. You cannot select the MP3 CD option since it requires the encrypted iTunes music files be converted to unprotected MP3 files.
3. After the audio CD is successfully burned, insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive again. Then you can use iTunes to import the music tracks on the burned disc to MP3 files.
And the method I am going to introduce does the same exact thing but you will not need a CD-RW disc, a CD ROM drive, or even need to burn anything! It’s that simple. Let’s show you how to perform this.
We are going to be using a program called TuneClone. TuneClone is basically a program that acts as a virtual CD drive that allows you “burn” MP3 from iTunes and “rip” it. TuneClone “lies” to your computer saying that you have a CD-RW drive that it will burn to (like Alchohol 120%). You can use this to move your library of M4P DRM protected music to the MP3 format that you can use on any player out there worth its salt. This is a useful tool for anyone looking to break their relationship with the iPod. The best part is that it maintains all of the music file’s metadata. Below is the step by step tutorial that shows how it works:
1. Download TuneClone from http://www.tuneclone.com and install it.
TuneClone is fully compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista. A virtual CD Burner will be installed. This virtual CD-RW will be used to convert music files.
2. Make settings at TuneClone
Click the Settings button at TuneClone. In the pop-up window, you can specify the output folder, output filenames, output format, etc. for the output files.
Note: Apart from MP3, TuneClone also allows you to convert iTunes M4P to WAV and unprotected WMA.
Tip: You can get the output protection removed music folder by clicking the Folder button after the whole process.
3. Make settings at iTunes(iTunes 
Create a playlist, and then add the files you want to convert into the playlist.
After you have created the playlist ready to be burnt, click the Burn Disc in the bottom right of iTunes.
In the pop up window of Burn Settings, make the settings as highlighted below:
4. Start to burn
Click the Burn button to start burning.
After the burning gets started, TuneClone will automatically convert the music file to MP3, WMA or WAV. You can open the manager screen to show all the converted music files.
The most important step is to choose the CD burner. Then the software can convert the music files automatically. It is exceedingly easy when you want to batch convert lots of files.

A 7 inches vinyl records will dress up an iPod. Imagine, a vinyl discs will dress an ipod? As you can see it is so painful to see records of John Lennon and Tom Jones being trimmed and folded into desirable size that suits the iPod.
Greenpeace, the staunch environmental supporter would really have a big smile on this. But to us vinyl discs lovers it is gross and horrible.

A man who is a professional drummer who toured with Take That, Texas, and Whitney Houston had been sentenced for four years in jail after holding up a bank with a music-stand as a gun. He was lawfully sentenced with “ham-fisted” robbery.
The court was told that he stole £1,200 from a branch of Lloyds TSB in Folkestone in July by using a gift-wrapped music stand to imitate a gun and pretending he had a bomb strapped to his leg.
He forced the cashier to hand over banknotes, stuffing them into a guitar case, but was arrested after a passer-by saw him putting the notes into his pockets on a nearby beach.
Tate, 46, who spent five years touring with Take That during the height of their fame in the early 1990s, needed the cash to pay off a £400 drugs debt and cover his rent, Maidstone Crown Court was told.
Passing sentence, Judge Andrew Patience said: “The bank employees must have been absolutely terrified. They didn’t know if it was a gun or not and there was the absurd thought that you might let off a bomb attached to your leg. Long after you have served your sentence such people will still be suffering.”
