Great idea, and good choice of vinyl as well. I'd love to try it but I think my boat would be too low in the water if I brought everything I thought I might want to listen to. Not to mention the danger of all of it melting in these warmer climes!
Yes the records are delicate and as a lot of mine are originals they're very expensive.
It was fun to do that one day at anchor but the record player and records can't stay for a cruise I've decided. That record player though has USB so I can rip all of it onto Computer then put on USB. You still get the crackle but still in a mp3 smaller format. It is fun to listen to records.
