Is this stuff still popular? Why do they call it vinyl and not simpy a record?

LMFAO, you can't be serious. I just can't believe that you listen to EDM and had absolutley no clue that records are still a large part of the DJ'ing community. I guarantee that you can go into almost any reputable club and you'll see some record players in the booth astride some CDJs. You should really check out the DJ Booth forum and have a look at the set-ups thread and see how many people have turntables.

Oh, and the reason it's refered to as vinyl is because it's made out of polyvinyl plastic.

They call it vinyl to distinguish from acetates. And tracks in general are often referred to as records.

although i prefer vinyl, CDs are indeed usually cheaper and have a longer lifespan than vinyl do. since i have both dual cd players and a turntable, i buy both. when it comes to albums or compilations, however, that are oftentimes available in both formats, i usually resort to purchasing the CD to save money, unless it's available for about the same price or not exceedingly more in vinyl format.

CDs do have many advantages over vinyls unless you're a pure DJ.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I'm surprised that I got for the most part legitimate and polite responses as apposed to the flame war I'm used to from my posts.

Thanks! Since I am a n00b and know nothing about DJing I'll stick with the CDs.

Both have advantages. It all depends on the DJ and how he/she likes to work. To some, those advantages will make little or no difference.

Vinyls tend to have a better sound quality (as long as they're kept it very good shape). They also let you scratch (even though that's not particularly useful in trance). They also give some of that "old school" factor, etcetera.

Personally I prefer CDs because, firstly, they're lighter, smaller, cheaper, and simply more efficient at managing. When I get an album, I like to rip every track on it and then rearrange my collections differently. Sometimes I like to make small adjustments to tracks (ex- adding cymbals or drumrolls to fit a better mix). Sometimes I also like to burn my own productions on CDs - This allows me to skip the long process of creating a vinyl.

You'll find alot of fanatics who will tell you otherwise - but in the end it all just comes down to style and personal preference. They're just two different technologies.

Yeah, but if you aren't a DJ, there's practically no reason to buy vinyls, as they're expensive, need specialist kit to play, can't easily be burned to your PC or MP3 player and you can't play them on a walkman. In addition they're big and need looking after if you want them to still play in a year's time.

I've known audiophiles who still prefer vinyl. Sure, they're not practical, but they still have that distinct sound to them.
