your greedy grasp should always exceed your ability

This rebirth of vinyl we keep getting pushed on us is probably due to its being a lot of faff to try

and rip and encode them.

A sort of empire strikes back by some ancient accountant in the record industry.

Meanwhile more old folk with money buy the vinyl to look at and caress before filing it away forever.

The ideal customers as there are no returns for undiscovered clickes on the quiet bits.

You do wish the music industry wasn't so full of paranoid coke heads out of their depth when

MP3 and the internet came along as people were used to paying for stuff

and would have continued at say £2.99 per album.(not £14.99 greedy bast level)

But there were so many middlemen and snouts in the trough to please I suppose.

Amusingly napster even came bundled in the desktop build at a telco I was at around the beginning of the noughties
