smailtronic Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VinylDisc Anybody have one of these? I think I already know the answer, but how does it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have two of them. The vinyl side sounds like crap. It's a failed format. Nobody has put anything out on since early last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It is a total piece of shit. It sounds like you are listening to a dirty old record through a wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicdogbert Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It's just a novelty thing. It's up there with 5" records, shaped CDs, and dualdiscs. Both fightstar and the mars Volta knew it was crappy sounding because they put the song that was on the vinyl side on the CD side as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melikecheese Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 This is one of those topics that comes up every 6 months here. Squoodge! has a Digital Vinyl Trash club with these. Pretty small club, only 33 of each release http://www.squoodge.de/get_dvt_list.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
