The author's argument is based on the emotional appeal of vinyl and the experience of purchasing from people who care about the music they sell. I'd tend to agree that in the world of music company profits and MP3s (notice there were no references to CDs in the article) that this has been lost and in some ways this is regrettable. A high value experience for people who care passionately about something is always going to be at odds with mass market appeal - the article could also be written for bookstores - and it is entirely possible that the value the author put in records and record stores was purely an accident of change, the same way that listening to early radio broadcasts on a valve-based, bakelite set was or people sitting around a piano to share songs. I like the imperfect translation from Spanish to English it greatly adds to the style and appeal of the article.
