Vinyl has some characteristics that make it desirable. It has raw sound that's physically taken from the stylus running in grooves, that's not really the same thing as other old media like tapes, or discs. Closest for visual media would be something like reels of 16mm or 35mm film projected. Everything else is either digital or analog stored via magnetic tape.

i have a vinyl of the car's just what i needed album and it sounds like SHIT on vinyl
the mp3 sounds way better
i am using a cheap usb vinyl player though but that shouldnt be why it sucks right ?

Laserdisc analog audio is superior to the noise and digital compression of DVD/Bluray
Dominic Davis
A good stylus is important, as is decent speakers with preamps and whatnot. Also the record itself can wear out over time because it's all physical interaction. Same reason why a reel of film can only be played so many times before it starts to stretch and distort.
Just watch Techmoan, his British ass will explain all this shit.
Hudson Williams
no. compact disc was the epitome of physical media. will be looking forward to their comeback
Nicholas Jackson
Vinyl is supposed to sound like shit, that's why hipsters love it.
Logan Collins
CDs are already making a comeback desu
Sebastian Butler
CD basically is still king. We've had it and its successor formats for almost 40 years, cassettes and other formats haven't lasted as long. And it's only being supplanted by digital downloads, but CDs can still be purchased.

>check out the digital version of a film/vidya/album/book
>it costs the same as the physical version
>wait a week
>it costs more than the physical version including shipping
Luis Torres
also vinyl can't be compressed up the ass like cd or digital due to physical limitations, so paradoxically it has better quality sound, more dynamic range
Brandon Wright
Weak bait

>ebook costs the same as the actual book
this really rumbles my johnnies
Lincoln Perez

Ian Hernandez
only really shitty bands have mastering that awful
Robert Brown
There's probably whole forums dedicated just to how much pressure a stylus should be exerting on the record as it plays. Vinyl can be finicky, and getting it all set up right is a process.

Imagine having to stop the movie one or more times to change disc sides or whole discs
Imagine that

Was this common in laserdiscs?
Chase Edwards
LD could only do like 30 minutes or 60 minutes a side.
Hudson Rivera
Please. I have a collection of great movies on laserdisc would love to be able to sell them
Kayden Cruz
>Was this common in laserdiscs?
LOL
this is PART of the Laserdisc experience, the best you could hope for was get a player that changed sides for you but you still had to change discs at least once when watching a movie
Ryder Gonzalez
I didn't know this. Even when they sort of became popular in the 90's, I've never seen one.
Dylan Anderson
Laserdisc only peaked at like 2% of players being in US homes. The format never took off.
Lucas Rogers
>Closest for visual media
CRTs. Unmatched for interlaced content and old video games
Nolan Phillips
That is literally what a laserdisc is, you zoomer

I used to collect them heavily, as well as VHS and some Beta, from around 2008-2014 but I've long since sold my collection. I mostly had rare horror, sci-fi, art, and cult films, some anime, and stuff with unique features not on other editions or nice packaging. Like VHS, a lot of films on laserdisc never made it to DVD or Bluray, and likely never will
