No, it still depends how it was mastered. You can have crap sounding vinyl and lossless, too.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem as common in new tables. Personally I find it to be a pain in the ass, and will only go for manual ones. I used to have an auto Technics changer turntable. Frustrating to use most of the time.

If I'm at home, more than likely there's a record spinning. I don't mind flipping. If I'm busy momentarily, it'll just spin with the needle in the deadwax...not a big deal.
