Yeah i think vinyl will die down eventually but not completely. You can do so much with today's technologies why limit yourself.



just remember DJ's are there to make the crowd dance, how or what they use to do it is entirely up to them.

**THE OFFICIAL ANSWER**

Right, I've just bashed all the appropriate values into one of these life expectancy calculators on the net, using:

* aged 59 (as it was invented in 1948)

* height of 12"

* weight of 1 pound

* no education

* consumes less than one drink a day but drinks more than 'never' as the occasional pint gets spilled

* doesn't eat any fresh fruit or veg

etc


and it came up with a life expectancy of...

59.47 years, which means it'll die this coming summer.

Interestingly, one of the questions asked how far it travels in a car each year... I put 1000 miles (it had to be in round thousands and it's definitely not 0), however of course for top-flight DJs that could be quite a bit more, which is why for them vinyl has already died.

Uh vinyl has been around only since 48? I thought vinyl was one of the first mediums...around the turn of the century after Edison invented the phonograph. I mean I know it was a joke you were making, just wanting that clarified.

Nope, before there was Vinyl there was shellac, the record concept has been around forever, but the material used to make the record has changed quite a bit over time.

I Googled it quickly, could well have been a crap source or I might not have read it properly haha



Right, I've just checked the fountain of all knowledge that is Wikipedia and you're right in that the first phonograph was made around 1878, but they used cylinders. Discs were introduced in 1888 and records then were made out of hard rubber. The use of vinyl to make records from wasn't introduced commercially until 1930, although from its introduction in 1897 until the mid 1950s shellac was more common for them to be made out of.

Just because vinyl isn't the medium of choice for working DJs anymore doesn't mean it is going to dissapear.
