That's interesting. I grew up during the time that vinyl is already considered
`obsolete' technology. As such, I never really gave any thought for how
things were done pre-CD and digital formats.
Nowadays, setting up a `web radio station' is really simple. But I assume
things
are much more complicated before.

Got it. I'm not quite sure how to do that yet. But I hope I get the time to
get really into it. :-)

It really is. This might just be placebo working its way but listening to
sound produced through a grooved vinylite is an inherently different
experience to just loading up an opus or mp3 file in the computer.
BR> Enjoy my friend!
Thanks!
