          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.

      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.
