Correct, and to do that, I simply plug it in, flick the owld bakalite switch on, chuck an LP on the turntable, and sit back to enjoy.
No messin,no hassle, no bloody digi down/up loading crap, no bloody thank you.

I can sit and admire the art werk on the sleeve and read the cover and inserts too!
Absolutely wonderfully spiffing.

Do carry on TRYING to down/up load your digi tripe. lol:

You're right about the album artwork Growler - you really used to get something you can hold and admire... Sometimes the Lyrics and a Bio too - I miss albums...  sad24:

But if you don't want to listen to the same Al Martino LP every day then MP3 downloads are the way forward! I've just bought some great stuff from my yoof - Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson - how wonderful. And it is as easy buying and downloading on Amazon as it is buying a new battery for pasty's old phone like....

AND I can play them on my house system, in my car and I'll be listening to them on the 'plane tomorrow (which is why I've just stocked up)...

Try getting yer radiogram on the hairy plane as hand luggage and finding somewhere to plug it in...  whistle:

In August I cleaned an infected PC for someone, their son was about to go to Uni and the box was a mess. Anyway it got fixed and lotsa instructions giving about being careful etc.

This morning got a call  saying PC is screwed again - Limewire being the culprit - someone clicked YES and now antivirus and loads more is disabled.

Expect sick PC to arrive this evening.
