The greatest invention of the download era is when you purchase (Did you read that you downloading crooks? "purchase." That means you buy it.) a new record of the vinyl variety often times it comes with a code for a digital download off the bands web site or record label site. In fact, it's strange if you buy a new release on vinyl and it doesn't come with a digital download of some sort. Some records will even come with a CD packageed within the record sleeve. The digital download code one of the few bright spots in an otherwise spiraling record industry.

It's like someone, some "suit" with a brain knew that people who still like to spin records, young and old, are also using iPods and MP3 players to play their music. So it's like we all get the best of both worlds, we can get the warmth of listening to a record and making that ever excruciating decision of "side one or side two" and still the the convenience of taking your music with you with an iPod.
