If they improved the technology of the CD player in tune with a turntable
then this discussion could change quite a bit.
Imagine this:
The New Pioneer 2000 Bollocks Millenium CD mixer with realtime speed dial
that actually spin the same speed as a vinyl. You could slow the cd down
by slowing down the dial on the side or pushing the dial forward to beat
match an offbeat. By flipping the dial over, you are actually playing the
other tracks on the CD, like flipping to the B-side. Then there is the
new laser needle convertor. By holding the dial and pushing it back and
forth, the laser on the CD actually can convert to the same sound as the
needle on the record. We now can scratch the same on CD as you can on
vinyl. With dust being on the CD, this 2000 model can actually convert
the sounds to popping and cracking. It can even warp your CDs so you get
that same experience of the funny "schluk" sounds when the needle jumps
over that section of the warped record.
One day..one day.
