Generally, I discourage people who don't already have record a collection stored away to get involved with vinyl.
If I'm spinning vinyl and a guest is becoming enamored and begins to ask those how much questions, I have a routine of making them aware of every trip to the turntable. Even with the most minimalist record care there is still a level of commitment that accompanies playing vinyl that they're not aware of.
In those rare instances when my little dog and pony show fails I have a second act. I sit them down and give them the CD vs computer playback demo. Combined with the undeniable convenience of the Squeezebox Touch, this never fails.
No, I make no mention of the Squeezebox being out of production.
