Lp stands for 'long play'; it's a very primitive version of what CD's are today. They came in 2 kinds 33 or 78rpm. You needed a turntable to play them and they had two sides. Here's an example

I never quite felt as old as I do after reading this.

By the way, I picked cds as my preference. Maybe I'm not so old??

:rofl: oh that's funny!


I miss the things that used to come with albums, like you could get a poster, or the album would fold open and there would be a picture of the band, that really made it special, now all you get is a CD with lettering so small you go blind trying to read it. But I'm a modern girl so I would have to say CD's. :wave:

Yeah, I agree, Jrnygrl. The 12x12 packaging is definitely missed!

Why do you feel old after reading what I said?

because most of us, even those in their early/mid 20's, remember when vinyl was still popular, and now some younger kids don't even know what an LP is, lol

That's it exactly. As recently as the late 80's I still bought vinyl on a somewhat regular basis, and "LP" was still a well known term back then.

I'm going with CD's primarily becasue of the sound quality, although vinyl records have better packaging because of their size. :)

A CD is the same as an LP or an album. CD's are LP's by nature because (except for CD3 singles) they are long play recordings like 33 1/3 rpm vinyl records. That's what LP stands for - long play! :rolleyes: A long player is anything that plays for a long tim -say, forty minutes - hence, the term! :p
