in my car trying to fit a 12" record into the stereo system

In the 90s and 2000s when we had portable CD players.

Always.

ELECTRIC MUSIC

GHOST MUSIC

NEED SOME REAL
SOMETHING REAL TO FEEL

NEED THE NICE DESIGNS
SLEEVE THE SIZE OF A PARKING SIGN

IT'S COOL I HEAR IT, NOT WEAR IT
INTO MY EAR NEITHER WOULD FIT

ALL IT IS, HERE AND GONE
NEED SOMETHING TO HOLD
LIKE A BODY OF A SONG

RUSTIC, FUZZ, CLEAN OR BUZZ
VINYL OR PLASTIC, NEITHER IS WRONG

when I look at my stash and see that I own 300 cds compared to 40 lps, I don't even own a player

Yo learn english gooder pls

Where were you when you realised that FLAC actually can't be topped?

The reason the whole "Vinyl is better than CD" shtick came about is because albums cut on vinyl nowadays actually have more dynamic mastering than CDs.

If they were to listen to a well-mastered CD from the 80s their opinion would change.

> english

the fuck is that

Probably the place your forefathers migrated from.

Anyways next time you'd want a colon after '40 lps'

Vinyls are big cos youngsters grew up consuming digital music which is counter to the whole material aspect of scene music (showing off your vinyls, showing off your bumper stickers, showing off your diplomas)

I think I need to make some room in my lps pile for that then

sorry I colonoscopy

Vinyl
>fun novelty
>sometimes sounds better than cd release because of loudness war

CD
>????

Digital
>most convenient
>no drop off in quality from CD

what's the point of CD again?

Trolling the facebook-mu-group

>Mfw I download FLAC copies of albums, convert them to 320kbps, then delete the FLAC files.

I've discovered during the last two years, since I can take CD-Rs home from the mastering plant, that there's an astonishing variation in quality between different CD plants. If you think digital is perfect, I have news for you. Many of us have been fooled by this myth that it's just 0s and 1s and therefore copies perfectly. It doesn't. The variations in quality are pretty wild, and random. Just the way you hook up a cable can make a difference. And there's no quality control in these CD plants, other than someone checking whether there's any level being transferred.

Most of us take it for granted that a CD is a CD, and we almost never discuss about varying standards of manufacture. I can't say too much about current US manufacturer's because I have few US made CDs. I have still detected a general shrillness to many US CDs ("let's tweek the high end to make them sound sharp to delude the general public that our CDs sound better than vinyl and tape"). Tweeking the high end also accentuated the hiss. After so many disappointments and revelations having heard import versions after getting US discs I have concentrated on acquiring import pressings.

As for maunfacturers themselves: on the import side I like the clarity of Nimbus UK but they can be hissier and lighter on low end than MPO France which produces well rounded sounding CDs. PDO have been fine except for the recent PDO UK disc rot problem. Sonopress in Germany are adequate. I used to shy away from DADC in Austria (Sony Europe uses them) but have realised that was a personal bias. Nimbus USA (Virginia) vary. Their reissues of the OMD catalogue were shoddy. DADC in Indiana (Sony/Columbia) are so so.

>mfw do this except AAC

all the pros that CD's had over vinyls are completely useless with digital being a thing
>small
digital does not have a size
>portable
you can bring and play digital files anywhere
>longer running time
digital does not have a max running time
>higher quality
digital files can be the exact same quality if not higher

honestly the only two real options in this day and age are vinyl for physical and digital for digital

This honestly
Although I think vinyls are good also good for collecting

>Vinyls

>good also good

yer a dope

Convenience and simplicity

With the upcoming standardization of usb dongles they'll drown in obsolescence like the vinyls anyway

Preach

When my car only had a CD/Casette player

Even with an AUX to Casette adapter CDs sound better.

Vinyl is just a shitty fad, I hope this generation of tumblr crosley fags kill it off for good

I swear I've seen this post before

Kek Whops

>Vinyl is just a shitty fad
Literally no one else I know besides my dad listens to viynls

>usb dongles

in my room listening to a vinyl and thought, "wow, this sounds like shit"

Yes, this why CDs became obsolete.

>Where were you when you realized digital downloads are better than vinyl and CDs?

Fixed it for you, OP.

I like digital but there's no way that I'd have an exclusively digital music collection. All it takes is a hard drive being lost or wiped and it's all gone.
That's why CDs are useful for back up purposes.
>inb4 "rotational velocidensity"

Plus, I like burning music onto discs and sharing mixes with friends.

do you suck their fucking cocks too you big queer?

As far as the need to own a physical piece of music goes I'd say CDs are better because they take up less space.

Vinyl owners BTFO

"pile"
fucking hipster, can't even take care of his investment

That's because you have no friends.

says the guy that collects vinyl

good thing you got that rare multicolor pressing of a 2012 russian circles record, or else i might not have thought you were cool

Is there much of a quality difference with a vinyl record with analogue recording and a CD with a digital recording so both were made with their own type?

CD rips>Vinyl rips for obvious reasons.
Vinyl records>CD when put through a pair of speakers in a room though.

...

I have thousands of CDs and only a couple dozen records. They're just so much hassle.

i hate the jewel cases on cds.

I was at music store when brother called
"CDs is better"
"no"

seconded

This fad has been going on for almost 10 years now

People with money retention skills don't waste money on obsolete media for the sake of looking cool on an anonymous board.

>not listed
>vinyl with no download

why pretend that vinyl is worth it?

Get out of this board and never come back

CDs are dying. LP records are having a renaissance.

What the fuck are you smoking, OP?

I stream or download music and if I buy it I'll get the vinyl.

I wonder why you all buy new music on vinyl. I'd rather get more recent albums on CD or mp3 to play in the car and buy older, more obscure things on vinyl. I mainly buy old records to sample or to collect things that are generally out of print, so vinyl always retains its novelty as a collector's item and a discovery tool for me. Unless there's really cool packaging or it's relatively cheap/rare I don't see the point in buying vinyl less than 10 years old.

>do this except convert to q7 .ogg and save FLAC in external drive

Fuck vinyl. It's too big and obnoxious and they aren't fun to collect. CDs are better.

>Vinyl
>not fun to collect
