One vinyl is quiet, playing in a curious manner (13)
I believe the answer is:
inquisitively
'in a curious manner' is the definition.
'one vinyl is quiet playing' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'vinyl'+'is'+'quiet'='vinylisquiet'
'vinylisquiet' is an anagram of 'nquisitively'.
'i'+'nquisitively'='INQUISITIVELY'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
