That's what I think. Absolutely agree.

One day the internet will die, but records will live forever.

Records with an ANALOGUE SOURCE are goregous!!

If it's an clean vinyl, without any scratches or broken areas then it will sound better than ANY mp3 and most of the CD's. It's just a different technology and the sound is fuller, richer ...I use mainly vinyls for listening, making beats for sale and for sampling.

Vinyl lost the race to CDs due to its practicality. In fact, the cassette tape itself (with very limited sound) conquered part of the vinyl market due to its practicality. Now, the pen drive has taken over the CD's space for the same reason. High Fidelity Sound, no more.

I'm not an audiophile and never had the money for vinyl anyway but sometimes I really wish to hear certain records in that format. For example Can's song Future days

i’ve always preferred cds, but i feel like some albums are suitable in different formats.

I agree. I prefer cds because unlike vinyl, I’ve rarely had to return a new cd because it was defective. Also, they are more durable than vinyl if properly cared for, and nowadays cost much less than vinyl. But yeah, some recordings sound better on other formats. The Pixies’ Come On Pilgrim ep explodes out of the speakers on vinyl, but didn’t come across as well to me when I first heard it on cd.

One thing CD's got going for it is all those special reissues with liner notes. Or just albums that came out with liner notes the first time around. I liked some of those.
