*L* As a tangential tracking 'fan' for decades, I'll at least applaud the approach. Watching work is amusing and I remember the VW van version. Now that was a piece of trash...
Now, Kappa, please. Sit down, take a deep breath, just chill for a moment.
This won't be the last 'audio heresy' we'll be subjected to. At least it's a product that exposes the new generation to vinyl, something we love despite it's inherent flaws and drawbacks. C'mon, it does have some that we know well. But consider the trove of existing discs 'out there'...all the 'used' albums in all the stores that carry them, all the stashes in attics and basements waiting to sing yet again....
The grandchild that places that player on one of late gran dads collection, found in that box under the stair. The discovery of what made the old guy smile when they sat on his lap so long ago. A romantic notion, Yes. But long after the tech beloved by us has fallen into disrepair, something like this may bring our music into the future.
Consider the latest Star Trek movie, featuring the Beastie Boys. One never knows the warp and weft of the future, and what may move us yet again....
Consider putting a 'care and handling' note in with the sleeves. ;)
