Re: Records, CDs, or MP3s?
In my experience, that isn't true at all. Do you have a source? Because I've never seen such a claim before. If vinyl is going to wear, number of plays will vary based on a few things.
The wear on vinyl will be minimal if you have a decent stylus, keep your records clean, and have good tone arm adjustable for weight and anti-skid (and you set the arm correctly). Those three things go quite a distance when trying to protect your vinyl.
