I like CDs because I can play them in the car
CDs

>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

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
