Why not record a MP3 track straight to vinyl and listen to the
difference.

Eh? what are you talking about?


What can be done, if you have the time and inclination, is record vinyl
to a digital file. It then becomes digital.

Any analogue signal can be digitised. Early CDs often started out as
analogue.

As to why people want to do this . . . well, a friend has asked me to
record some vinyl to digital, and then CD, so her mum can listen to the
music. Brass band music - Black Dyke Mills Band, 1968. Quality seems
pretty good to me - used the latest version of Audacity, very good
indeed IMO.

You don't need Audacity to digitise an LP. Just about every computer with
an audio input can do it. Of course you do need an RIAA preamp.
