I like CDs because I can play them in the car

CDs
>can put in car
>hold more music
>shitty cases
>objectively the best quality

vinyl
>looks more cool
>big album art
>pops and crackles
>only for big dicks

wax cylinders

CD is better quality and more convenient. Vinyl looks cooler.

Vinyl for collecting, CDs for playing

Kidnapping the band and dragging them around and making them play the song you want to listen to

what sounds the worst / lo-fi / low bitrate?

i only want the ugliest sounds

wrong

CDs
>cheap

Vinyl
>not cheap

i think it's pretty obvious which is best

CDs:
-Can be played in car, but that's useless anyway because of bluetooth/aux/USB etc
-Takes up less space
-Cheaper but zero resale value

Vinyl:
-Bigger art
-Gives the most value in terms of owning something physical
-Takes up a lot of space and is a pain in the ass to deal with when you are moving
-More expensive but considerable resale value and most modern records come with the CD anyway

Buying CDs is like paying rent. You're just pissing away money

depends how it was mastered, desu

the original master tape

I want to own a physical copy of an album, that doesn't take up space, where I can look at the art and liner notes conveniently, and can then be transferable online. Pissing money?

this

>Pissing money?
Yeah absolutely

Though at my age I know not to spend money on such a dumb thing

I have about $15,000 worth of vinyl I need to be getting rid of soon

Not everything has to be an investment

Reel To Reel is better than both lmao.
>Inb4 I become crucifued.

Agreed.

But I regret buying all those records 6 years later.

I love them, I do.

But the money would've been better off in an IRA or something

Plebeians!
Wire recording or nothing!

Understandable

I like both and can appreciate both

True answer

I have compared CDs to vinyl versions of albums on my set up. Honestly, some albums sounded better on vinyl and some sounded better on CD (Bon Iver's s/t comes to mind the pressing of it is God awful). So it really just depends on the mastering and pressing quality.

>he doesn't listen to wax cartridges
Fucking plebs

>y'all ain't on the reel to reel train yet
disappointed desu baka

real answer: it doesn't matter unless you have a good stereo setup

CD unless the master for vinyl is better, which isn't that common.

CDs do not have the physical limitations that vinyl does.

This 100%

Both:
>Fun to collect
>Come with lyric sheets/booklets
>Come with cool sleeve art or booklet art
>Very high audio quality

Vinyl:
>Big album art
>Sometimes come with extra goodies
>Actually putting an album on a record player is kinda cool
>"Warm vinyl sound"
>More collection value


CDs:
>More portable
>More durable
>Can be played in cars
>Cheaper
>Better for secondhand/thrift store picking
>Good CD setup doesn't cost nearly as much as a good vinyl setup

Both are good, but each one has their ups and downs. Vinyl if you have a decent amount of money, CDs if you're on a budget

I have similar views. Vinyl is just fun to collect. I have some very rare records that are over 1/8" thick from the early 1900s that were given to me. Mostly old blues and big band. I also have a stack of records from the Watchtower Society, from when Jehovah's Witnesses used to go door to door with portable record players. Also, just a tip. If you buy from Amazon, most of the time their vinyl sales come with free mp3 rips.

Cassette:
>smol
>portable
>sweet-ass J-cards
>easily able to make custom tracklistings

what more do you want

Illegally download digital music,
buy vinyl for comfy sit downs and electric dances in a warm living room in winter

burn music onto CDs for car

use spotify for ease of access to new music discovery
