Vi-Pod   (+9, -3)  [vote for, against]
for the vinyl purists among us

each new track is introduced with the sound of a record crashing onto a deck.

the Vi-pod adds all the scratchy noises that we know and love or as some would put it – every little bit of the production.

finishing with the last few chords repeating endlessly as the needle sticks in the groove. (well a few times to get the effect).

Other than that, great idea! I would love to have vi available to me anywhere.

I thought this would be a portable record player backpack or handbag stylized to look like an iPod.

For those who want to be able to scratch anytime, anywhere.

This is baked on a Counting Crows cd~~ Across A Wire/ Live in New York City~~~ last song, cd2, right before the secret track, it skips over and over for quite a few minutes simulating the vinyl sound. Besides, if you want the sound of vinyl, then play vinyl if you're really a *purist*.

nothing to do with Roundheads then?

I like it because it's a feature easily added to most mp3 players and I'm surprised no one's done it yet.

The scratches and pops never sound as good as they used to, on vinyl.
-- Dub, May 27 2006


Not like when I was young, we had real scratches and pops back then.
