Will It Go 'Round In Circles?

My kids are fascinated by the old audio tech and have lots of questions about turntables, record albums and whether the needle starts at the outside edge and goes to the middle or the other way around. After seeing me use some older equipment, my youngest thinks we should go back to cassettes and albums because they are "cooler." There's a someone who hasn't lived long enough to appreciate the wonderment of a convenience-filled world of high tech equipment.
