Bzzt, I know about that - but every computer with a CD drive can rip an audio CD. Not every LP player can rip. You go tell the guy with the $800 turntable that all he needs to do is go by a *$99* unit to rip, he'll laugh at you. The quality of the turntable determines the quality of the digital copy, and for those for whom LPs are preferred, they're preferred for fidelity.
That's what I mean by a lack of easy equivalent of ripping a CD. Anyone can do the latter, and in most cases produce a copy that is all but indistinguishable from the original. Not so with LPs unless you shoot for the very high end.
