Best Buy is in the process of removing CDs from its stores and replacing them with vinyl records and turntables. And sales are brisk.
The first vinyl album I purchased was Don McLean’s American Pie (1971). Would I buy vinyl? Probably not.
How about you? Would you buy vinyl records?
I wish I kept all my old vinyl. After returning from overseas I got rid of a lot of stuff. I decided to declutter my life and give away possessions and just pack light. I still remember when vinyl dissapeared from the stores with cd’s coming in!
I miss records sometimes but don’t miss a lot of my possessions.
If I was really into music I probably would, but digital is good enough for me.
I collect modern vinyl, i also collect modern cassette tapes, i have about 70 vinyl albums and they are worth a fortune. 
i could show you a pic of my music centre if you like
It’s kind of funny how things come in full circle.
I remember in the early 90’s everyone was raving about how great CD’s were, and how they were superior to cassettes and vinyl.
Personally I love music so much, I’ll take it on any format I can get. But I prefer CD’s and records.
When I do buy records they’re usually used though.
I just buy CDs as gifts. Probably unwanted gifts lol. For myself it’s mp3 all the way. I don’t like streaming and prefer to have mp3s to listen to offline.
We never had a record player growing up so I was never into vinyl. Just cassettes.
I don’t understand the resurgence of vinyl to be honest.
No i have Youtube 
I love music from iTunes (modern digital), I always download my favourite songs from iTunes onto my phone. It’s just so easy and convenient. Digital is so clear and crisp, bubbly and smooth.
That said I love vinyl. I haven’t hit the decks in 15 years. But I just don’t have the room for it. I’ll stick with digital, but I still have much love for vinyl.

This is why I’ve never upgraded from wax cylinders.
Joking aside, most vinyls nowadays are sourced from a digital copy, making them the same as a CD. As long as FLAC formats are readily available, I’m alright with this. CDs are still superior to the MP3 format when audio quality is considered but FLAC is a lossless replacement.
I used to have hundreds of vinyl and cds.
Don’t know where they are now.
I use YouTube today.
Yes Vinyl. All the way. I’m 34 and I love them. IMFUO. They sound better. With digital compression you lose alot. Idk! The idea of physically doing a turntable or the sure difference with quality headphones. A beginning audiophile here.
YouTube is good for music but YouTube music is compressed. Best off downloading digital from iTunes and such.
I find vinyl is more aesthetically pleasing, the sound is fresh and crisp and has more meaning bc i am supporting the music industry and my favourite artists more,
Its more personal and it is a good hobby too as i go out and research music and discover new and interesting artists,
what i do is i look at the cover and the song titles i like then take photos of the album covers and look them up on youtube, if they are good enough i will decide if it is good enough to buy,
I don’t buy loads though just select ones, i have a good collection i think but i need to streamline it and hopefully swap some somehow
In America sales of vinyl may be going up bc of British exports as i think its more popular here in uk
I truly don’t miss vinyl. Having to buy it. Store it. Care for it.
Do I miss the tactile feel of dragging my thumb on the side of a platter to sync up beats? Yeah.
But not enough to go for a swim back in that cesspool.
Nope. Uh-uh.
It’s tangible and fun to read
