Interesting thread. Personally, with CD prices so low these days, I have been quite happy to buy CDs to rip even when I already have an old vinyl copy. My interest in this thread is prompted by those albums that don't seem to be readily available on CD. To take one example, I have a copy of Psychic TV's Dreams Less Sweet on vinyl. There was a CD produced, but it seems to have been deleted, so what to do? I could go through the pain of ripping from vinyl, but I know that particular LP has a lot of static and cleaning doesn't seem to help much (true of quite a few in the collection). Someone is selling a copy through Amazon second hand for US$69.99 (no royalties for the artist there of course!). I could try to find it for BitTorrent but, although I have never used allofmp3, I notice that the whole album is available for dowload for $2.53. Very tempting (although it does seem to only be available in 192kbps...would a flac rip of the vinyl be better? probably not!). Ethical dilemmas abound! If I could buy it on cd for $10-20 I'd do it in a flash.
