Vinyl records will always offer the highest quality.

That's why unlike cassettes and perhaps soon CDs, they haven't died out yet.

No. Listen to 40s - 60s music on Vinyl or their transformed mp3 format and you realize how much noise they've got.

 

The best thing to keep music is mp3 format. Something between 192-320 Kbps (though 128 Kbps is quite good enough).

MP3 is a lossy compression format. Better to keep master files in lossless formats like flac, then load up devices with lossy conversions to save space. For the latter, I prefer Vorbis ogg myself.

That's because:

1) The means of recording weren't good enough at the time
2) If not treated right, records degrade a ton

Believe me, I've tested it out a few times, exact same stereo and song, a max format MP3 version will still sound inferior to a mint vinyl record. In the conversion process to digital and back to analogue information is lost. Vinyl records, being analogue, are of course much more true to the original sound.

Yeah I remember ICQ but personally I was more a fan of Microsoft Comic Chat as it was just more entertaining to watch your chat session play out as a comic strip

Anyone know if there is anything like that still around?

I've never even heard of that. When was that around?

Late 90s, not sure it lasted long after the millennium
