   I still have a turntable but it hasn't been used in years.   
      
   It was only a problem it quite parts of the music. Sometimes you get snap,   
   crackle, Pop! I remember this from old times. I actually heard that snap   
   crackle pop sound on a CD (I forget which one) that someone must have taken a   
   sound byte from vinyl.

   I think I am intolerant to that sound. Others didn't seem to mind or hear it.   
   In the vinyl days I was very careful with records when I was handling them.   
   They went back into their sleeve that also had a platic cover I think to   
   prevent static.   
      
   As hard as I tried though, I couldn't get rid of that sound. I bought more   
   than one copy of several albums, and I always put my music on tape to save   
   ware on the vinyl. I was a bit of an audiophile in those days.

   By and large my collection today is on the HD. I have many CDs but were they   
   are now I am not sure. It's so much easier to find/play music or movies   
   through the computer.
