Just out of curiosity, with MP3 players, CDs, and such when was the last time you listened to a record player? I remember I used to have this Fischer Price record player thing and I had a collection of 45s with songs including "I Write the Songs" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now". I kept them in this yellow case thing. Oh and I used to listen to a lot of Kenny Rogers stuff. I miss that thing. I miss that time. Anyway yeah, when was the last you listened to a vinyl?

My buddy got a combination record player/CD player for his birthday last year, so we were listening to some Phil Ochs up in his room a few weeks ago. We have a record player as well, but we haven't used it in years. Also, my friend's band had a turntablist for a while, but then he switched to keyboards, but it was pretty cool.

I must have been about 12/13 (I'm 18 now, 19 in may) over 4 years ago at least, on my grandads record player. I don't know what happened to it, my nan must have got rid of it when he died. *shrug*

i like the idea of owning a record player. just a regular one (not the kind that's like part of an entertainment center or something) do phonographs still exist? (that's what they're called right?) i think if i could i'd start a record collection, thing is they're so big and can take up so much room.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to use one which is a shame. They seem really cool and I would love to see one in action one day.

My mom had a kick where she was really into vinyls for a while, so she has some records along with a more modern player. It seems like these things are coming back as I've seen several bands and such do limited vinyl releases for new albums and such.

Very nice! How big is your player? Something small or apart of a entertainment stand?

I just got notification that The Goo Goo Dolls greatest hits album will be shipped in less than 2 weeks, so excited! Right there with ya! Lol. I've bought a bunch of stuff since I got my turntable for Christmas. My only complaint thus far is I've had three different albums at this point that I bought brand new that were bad pressings so I had to return. They sounded so good until they started skipping in every other song on the B-side. haha. Other that that, I'm loving it.

Absinthe, You can return vinyls? I don't know why I was under the impression that you couldn't. I've decided to limit myself to only one new vinyl per month. I was getting a bit carried away when I first got my turntable. lol

Sounds nice, my grandparents still have a large table size player from the old days.

I was getting a bit carried away when I first got my turntable. lol I think it depends on where you buy them. I usually get mine from work as we get a discount, but I'm able to return it if it's defective, which is nice. Most record stores have some sort of exchange policy at least, I've found. I've also had to start limiting myself as I went a little crazy when I first got it. lol.
