I always imagined MP3s help vinyl sales rather than hurt them. People hear stuff on the internet and then go out and buy the vinyl. Most people do not have fancy MP3 players and Final Scratch to play their MP3s out, they just use the MP3s as another resource for tracking down good music. Having said that, I can see how MP3s might hurt album/CD sales cos it's so easy to burn CDs off - though I don't see that as a problem with DJ mixes, just artist albums and commercially released mixes.
