I think what people like about vinyl is the analogue sound. Sort of like comparing a valve amplifier with a solid state amp. It somehow sounds warmer and less clinical.

But the inconveniences that you mentioned are very real. A vinyl album deteriorates every time you play it.

Digital media lays down information by, in effect, taking cross-sectional samples. Many thousands of these occur per second for a CD, but you could argue that there is no such thing as a "lossless" digital recording. What is lost between these samples, however miniscule they are?
