In the ever growing music industry there have been many changes and is propelling its way into the new millennium via digital downloads. We have music at our fingertips and it often becomes disposable. We no longer think about 8 tracks, cassette tapes, CD's, or vinyl records. We only want to get our hands on the hit song on any given album that is popular that day, week, month, or year. We can ins
tantly download this from the iTunes account we have created for ourselves. Music is an art form and needs to be treated like an art form to truly appreciate it. That is why musicians spend so much time on their music and can also express themselves through the packaging of their product. This is where Vinyl Rides Again comes into play. This new social media company is designed to give music fans an outlet for sharing their music based on their vinyl record finds. Vinyl is starting to make a comeback and can be found at thrift stores, antique shops, record stores, and even your parents/grandparents basement. This new media site is designed to let the music listener share their vinyl record finds online with other members. The member can post pictures of their vinyl finds and explain where they got them, how much they paid for them and what intrigued them about the record. This can be shared with other members that you connect with privately or publicly through genre portals. It is a great way to keep track of your own record finds as well as see what other people are getting into that might peak your own interests.
