Netflix Like Service Coming For Vinyl LP Fans


. (Radio.com) Vinyl is becoming as easy to listen to as movies are to watch. In fact, that's the inspiration behind VNYL, a new subscription-based service that mails out new LPs to record collectors.

For $15 a month, members can choose from a list of categories and receive records in the mail like they did their movies years ago with Netflix, or for the generation above it, Columbia House.
