A lot of vinyl albums these days include either a cd or code for digital download of the entire album. something to consider. I think of the music i have purchased, roughly 30% has included the music in another form for free (Rilo Kiley, Jose Gonzalez, Arcade Fire, Band of Horses).
Those coupons are a great idea; however...they may only be for 128kbps MP3 files, which suck, especially compared to vinyl. With a USB turntable, you can rip audio at an uncompressed rate, and then convert it to whichever format you like, so you save quality that way.
