My old man pet peeve: the plural of "vinyl" is "vinyl." They are "records" or "LPs" - not "vinyls". Now get off of my LAN! ;)

Hey now, "vinyls" is a perfectly acceptable word.... Assuming you're referring to multiple different types of vinyl, rather than multiple records or other vinyl products ๐
Like fishes
Exactly like fishes.
I often listen to vinyls of my favorite band... The Divinyl.

They're probably the same people that talk about "legos".
"Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?"
Not
"Can you pass me the bag of Legos"
If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You'd say "Can you pass me the box of band-aids?" or a tissue, "Can you pass me a kleenex?"
Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.
It's not because Lego is already pural
"I have many Lego blocks"
Not
"I have many Lego"
Languages adapt to the people using them

So "vinyls" is a big no but listening with the sleeve on is A-OK?
RIP your needle.
I think the jacket would rip before the needle ;)
The actual diamond stylus would be fine. I'd imagine that the needle tearing the paper, and then dragging it in whatever direction would be pretty rough on the cantilever.

Delete this, or eventually it will develop into an ironic-then-quickly-unironic post-vaporwave genre that I'll find out about via a YouTube video essay in a year's time
Nah, I like raw-dogging mine
