The Death of Vinyl: This somewhat recent news clip gives an insightful look into how some record stores are filling a niche market in vinyl so that they can stay competitive in the age of the digital download.
You're doing a great job of finding a wide variety of sources for this project, including multimedia sources. Later in the term we'll watch some of the documentary _Scratch_, which might also be relevant for you. Here are some other references that you might want to have a look at:
Schloss, Joseph G. 2004. Making Beats: The Art of Sample-Based Hip-Hop. Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press.
Straw, Will. 1997. "Sizing up Record Collections: Gender and Connoisseurship in Rock Music Culture." In Sexing the Groove : Popular Music and Gender, ed. Sheila Whiteley. London: Routledge. (I'm pretty sure this author has written other stuff on this topic, so try searching for it.)
Cox, Christoph and Daniel Warner, eds. 2004. Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music. New York: Continuum. (I seem to remember that this has some material on DJ cultures, but since I'm in a coffee shop in Philadelphia right now I can't say for sure....)
