I was raised on vinyl. I remember I was so poor in college I had no records or player of my own...but my roommates usually did - the set where the speakers would fold out and the turntable would fold down. Once I graduated and had a job, building my record collection was a priority. In those days guys would come over and see you collection and go through it. They would invariably say something like: "Dude...cool...you have the new Three Dog Night album, can we play it? " Except the address "Dude" hadn't been invented yet.
So my point is that it was a cool thing to have your "collection" on display for visitors to see...even after the switchover to CDs. I miss that. While I love the efficiency of quickly scrolling to find any CD I have on FLAC via my Oppo 105D with attached hard drive, I miss the collection display.
