I always collected CDs until I started buying Vinyls. Haven't bought a single CD in years. Best decision of my life.

but then what's the point of paying for a overpriced picture, if you want to showcase covert art you might as well make high-res printings. ok, you can do wherever you like but vinyl has become a very sad meme, I even see toy turntables on the supermarket! and people buy those to actually play their records and not just as a display!!! those things will ruin permanently your records and sound like crap.

i mostly just stream music, im not huge on quality. i see physicals as merch, so i prefer vinyls. i sometimes listen to vinyl, but not oft.

I mean, I fell for the vinyl meme but I also really love CDs

What are you even talking about? Of course CDs are easier to transport and cheaper. That's why people have phones with storage or a dedicated player, so you can transport your music easier. The point of buying vinyl is to give stronger support to the artist, the added artwork and packaging is better, it's fun, and actually used vinyl is super cheap. I like buying classical records because there are often times rare recordings that aren't on the internet. Anyways, have fun carrying around CDs when any normal person is caring around their music on a phone.

don't overhype yourself, you are the hipsters of the spotify generation.

It got me alot of art hoe pussy tho boy

All you did was get bored of it. The mixes on some records are incredible compared to the shit compressed on a cd. Depends on what you listen to and wether or not your playing it on a piece of H&M garbage.

I can't figure out why anyone bothers with physical media anymore, I mean you have to either rip, download, or stream all of your physical stuff anyway yeah? I sold all my shit off years ago.
Is it just about having a physical collection?

Not mad at all, I still pick up CDs for 50 cents to a couple of bucks and it's better than vinyl quality for the most part.

This.

I did get bored, in reality the supposed advantages are not enough to compensate the trouble, and if your main listening is done on headphones you are not getting the full benefit of a well masterd record because headphones don't have the same "ability" to produce true soundstage (unless is a binaural recording) and I actually have records that don't sound all that well mastered .

Here is my reasoning for buying CDs (applies to vynil too): I want to support the artist so I buy a album if I like it very much (max like 8 a year so I don't drown in plastic). The thing is buying just the mp3s feels like a rip off - they are max one or two dollar cheaper compared to the CD. For me it's just a better deal to spend these extra dollars on the CD. You get cool artwork, (maybe) a booklet and the music in lossless quality. In case your hard drive crashes you still got the music too, also you can sell them later in life.

i have a 5 cd changer so i can queue up hours of music at a time, it's great

The only reason to buy vinyl is to preserve music for after technological society collapses and we can't play anything digital anymore.

Yes, because standalone CD players have never existed.

desu the whole reason I like vinyl is the kitsch factor and the "analogue" meme (i know it's not higher quality in any respect esp for anything released recently I just think it's kinda fun)
I also have a tape deck and cassettes which is obviously an objectively shit tier way to listen to music but I just think it's fun to have stuff like that
CDs just seem like a middle ground, like at that point I might as well just listen to a digital copy on my hard drive
I do have a CD player though I just don't buy many CDs because basically if I'm going to fall for a meme I might as well fall for the bigger meme

>yikes
CDs are cool I guess. Vinyl will always be way fucking cooler though kek.

I'm stingy af and don't even buy mp3s but I still go to a lot of shows. I only buy physical copies of 3 artists anymore, just the ones I still love that I've been collecting since I was a teenager.
I backup my shit pretty regularly on cloud and an external so I'm not really worried about losing anything.

Thats fair, going to shows is probably the best way to support artists anyways. I don't really go to shows though so I'd feel guilty pirating the music of smaller artists. I just feel like when I want to own a album (and I want to pay for it) CD's are the best deal possible when you think of all the extras you get for about the same price just some mp3s.

lol

i like my vinyl collection. i use a phone/laptop for everything else. fuck these attention seeking dipshits.

I never hopped on the vinyl meme because it's cumbersome, just about every modern recording is done digitally from the start making vinyl pointless, and CDs are much easier to store, transport, play and rip.

I don't even bother with CDs for the most part unless it's a rare release I can get at a good price. FLAC is where it's at. I try to only buy original releases or remasters if they actually fixed a previously shitty release. Seems to me that most remasters are a money grab that brickwalls releases to make them more radio/earbud friendly. Almost always sounds inferior to earlier releases. I torrent most of my stuff these days based on release type.

I hear shit you didn't even know existed on my records. Fight Me nigger

hahaha. i love it.

>Seems to me that most remasters are a money grab that brickwalls releases to make them more radio/earbud friendly. Almost always sounds inferior to earlier releases.
Man I never trust "remasters". Rock You Like A Hurricane 2010 remaster by Scorpions is a good example of this - I know it's shit but it's a good example.

exactly this

Most of us know that digital is better quality than vinyl (unless it's been compressed to shit). Vinyl is just more fun. And why listen to CDs anymore when you can get the same quality and more convenience from digital files or streaming.

This.

>Rock You Like A Hurricane 2010 remaster by Scorpions
I heard that one was bad. Actively avoided it ha. I understand that some 80s releases would need a remaster since quite a few CDs were mastered too quietly. What gets me is that releases from the 90s are being remastered. Like why the fuck would they need remastering? All the kinks in digital tech were worked out by the 90s. It's ludicrous. But you even have releases from the 2000s being remastered and re-released. It's Absurd!

I'd love for some releases that were cannibalized on inception to get a proper remaster though. Californication is one example.

>vinyl sounds so much better than digital.
>. Like why the fuck would they need remastering?.

for the money grab. its not really "saving music" when all of this has become a meme. this is how the video game bubble formed in the early 80s everyone putting out crap left and right and consumer that eventually got tire of it.

for the same retarded bullshit reason you gave for listening to vinyl

>TFW CDs have been proven to be higher quality than Vinyl
proof or stfu
no way CD's have stronger bass than vinyl

used to think people like you were a myth

one question, did you actually used tapes "back in the day" or were you too young? what the hell is driving this nostalgia?, tapes are a very mediocre medium, when the vinyl craze started I also started shilling that casette was also "good" "because its analog" now I'm thinking that I was not the only one doing the memeing...ALL but absolutely ALL of my tapes have dropouts and other problems.

btw the absolute best tape medium is reel to reel if you really want to be serious about tape.

Regular tapes are also "reel to reel".

cope

this lmao
happens too often in my car

I found some of my dad’s mixtapes and his old tape deck a couple of years ago and the medium just appealed to me for some reason

I like the compactness, and maybe I’m deaf, but I don’t hear any major differences with other musical media
