Autumn Rimer said she loves the sound vinyl records make when they're played.
If you were born well before the advent of the compact disc in the early ’80s, you probably remember what it was like to listen to your favorite songs on a vinyl record.
You would gently place your album on the turntable, taking care not to put a fingerprint smudge on the black ridges of the record. Then you’d lift up the arm and delicately drop the needle into the first groove.
