PRINTVinyl v. iPod

VINYL
Pro:
Romantic, chicks dig it: Spending a rainy Saturday evening drinking wine and re-organizing your record collection a lá High Fidelity (that’s autobiographically) is WAY cooler than being hunched over your computer, staring at your iTunes for four hours.
Con:
Derived from petroleum, vinyl is so not eco-friendly. That means your mom can try to toss those embarrassing Tom Jones records, but they will unfortunately live on in the county landfill.
IPOD
Pro:
They are portable: Just imagine trying to carry 30,000 songs on vinyl during your morning jog. Talk about a workout.
Con:
Easy to lose: There isn’t much worse than realizing you left your tiny iPod on a bus/in a taxi/at the gym/in the library/in your ex’s car. Thankfully, your vinyl is still collecting dust in your closet.
VOX PICK
iPod
Unless you are a level five hipster or over the age of 65, you’re better off investing in an iPod. Face it – digital is here to stay.
