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.
