yeah, because if you buy something digitally, it will get stolen from you.
CD's are real objects and not digital goods.
That wasn't the point being made.
Please explain. I'm still not seeing the point. Vinyl is outselling CDs because.... digital goods will be stolen from you? I don't get it.
The comment above ignored the article and is just talking how digital media can be revoked.
Then why did it start with "yeah, because..."?
I always thought it had more to do with the aesthetic of vinyls rather than any sort of ownership dilemma. A good chunk of my friends own multiple vinyl records but no record player. I also wonder what the production rates are like for vinyls vs CDs, are we producing about the same quantity of them?
For some people it’s definitely the aesthetic/collectible nature of vinyl. Anecdotally, for me, it’s for the listening pleasure. I’m no audiophile. I’m listening on potato speakers on a sub par turntable, but I like listening to records like I did when I was younger.
I do also love the much larger album sleeve artwork, but my primary drive in purchasing an album is to listen to it on my turntable.
Me too...I hate it when a band releases a record and they don't do anything to the jacket though.
Yo...I love vinyl but just because it's nice to have an analog physical copy...it doesn't sound "better" or worse. I just enjoy records.
I listen to lots and lots of streaming on bandcamp.
