Because everything that is newer is better
No
We all have our own bias on what we think sounds better.
And the debate will go on for who knows how long.
The fact is that digital has continued to get better and better.
I've got some HD rips from Music Giants that are simply amazing.
One thing that is not debatable is the ease of use and convienece of digital.
Maybe I'm just lazy, but having access to your entire music collection without having to leave the couch, to me is priceless.
To Adam's comment about changing the way he listens to music, I find the same thing, some good, some bad.
I find I really have to be in the right frame of mind and disciplined to sit through an entire album,(especially when listening to something new, to easy to skip over a track that might not grab you right away), where the ritual of putting on an LP almost dictates you'll listen to at least one side all the way through.
But on the plus side, with the server, I can create playlists of my favorites, or favorites of an artist to pull up anytime I want and I can also burn these playlists to a disc to listen to in the car, or create a disc for friends.
Also many times I just put the player in random mode and can be pleasently surprised when an old tune pops up I may have not heard in many years and old memories or feelings come rushing in.
I for one will never go back, digital works for me.
To each his own, as Jeff has said "It's All Good"
