Music Banter - View Single Post - Is buying music on CD, vinyl, cassette or via download best?

I enjoyed having CDs for the sake of having a physical copy in my hands. The downside was that a lot of my collection ended up in the hands of others and I would usually get them back with deep scratches and unable to play my favorite tracks.

As for vinyl, I really enjoyed having a growing collection in the past but eventually and gradually began to favor digital copies and streaming for the sake of convenience.

I would love to start collecting vinyl again, but I think over time I would have to devote an entire room in my place just for vinyl and I'd end up on an episode of hoarders, lol. Especially as my tastes expand, and I'm always looking into new artists I might like as well as checking out a lot of the suggestions that you guys have been posting here and in other threads.

So I guess I'll stick to digital until I settle my storage dilemma, or make an impulse buy...
