Favorite song lists, reviews, featured indie artists, and music commentary.
I love the ease of digital, but I still love my vinyl as well. Something great about the static and impurities of vinyl that is more pure, if that makes any sense. Maybe I’m just an old-school nostalgic. 😃

Yes, there is something nostalgic about the look and feel of a vinyl album or even a 45 single that a digital download just cannot match.

I would say CDs and Cassette tapes are both better but I would be the only one of that opinion, silly hey?

Not silly at all. Each format really does have its own advantages and disadvantages. CDs are probably most convenient of the three physical formats, but with many new vehicles no longer even having CD players, it appears that digital will be our only option, at least while traveling in a vehicle. As the article states, vinyl is really only feasible at home. I was never a fan of pre-recorded cassette tapes, though I did purchase a few back in the day.

That’s why I’m never buying a new car again and keep my 5 pile CD player in my car forever! It’s most likely the two formats I grew-up with really and that’s it!

Cool… Thanks for sharing! I’ve thought about the pros and cons of vinyl and digital for a while. (Chief con of vinyl = I can never remember how to spell it!) Ultimately, I think my favorite thing about vinyl is actually going into a record shop and going through bins of LPs and chatting with people who are doing the same thing. It’s definitely more social than going to iTunes and clicking a link!

Thanks for checking out the article. I thought it was pretty interesting and worth sharing. I agree about the fun of sharing a physical album that you can see and feel.
