"Put on" actually dates from the time of records (45s specifically) where the only way to change the song was to put another record on the turntable. My parents still have all my 45's. (I'm your boogie man, that's what I am.) I might be inclined to rip them, if I had any interest at all in that crap.

I read an article in Playboy last month (I swear I buy it
only for the pictures) about a guy that has developed technology to rip records using a flatbed scanner. They mentioned the quality is fairly crappy still, but the ability to do so is just as important. I'm sure it won't be long before it's improved upon.

I'd chalk it up to better marketing/visibility and a larger following. Good for them, though.
