Ok... Vinyl skips. It's still not got the problems listed above using usb's, cable links etc... And to be honest a vinyl will only skip if you don't look after them and it's scratched. And a little skip of a needle doesn't stop the music. Laptops/usb's crashing = silence. fact. CD's are good too as long as they're looked after and covered with shit or scratched to fuck. Again, if this were so you wouldn't play them out anyway.....
