I agree. Vinyl is still the only thing in the club culture.

Do you know how much these vinyl presses cost? Rather hi-hi end prosumer 
imo. :)
Also, the quality is not as good as a real press. The discs are more 
easily worn out. It's a little better than a "lacker", but not that much 
better.
So I don't think they'll be a big commercial success.

Cheers,

Have you heard an mp3 file? Beside "the real thing"?
I don't think anyone's going to care too much about the quality, actually, 
given the possible "convenience" factor!!! As with mp3's.

They don't have to be a big commercial success. They just have to help 
"pirates" "spread" music a little. After all, another one can always be 
pressed at no inconvenience at all.

Not that I am condoning it, by the way. Just being realistic. Just saying 
... I don't think the reasons you've given are good enough reasons to doubt 
the potential popularity of these portable vinyl presses in certain quarters.
