φim sorry but collecting CDs is so much more fun than collecting vynils , because you can actually play them easily and rip them if u want , and cd collections can put all of them on display while taking up mucj less space , theyre just strictly better
buying a vynil record of a modern album is one of the dumbest things the music industry managed to popularize
nina@fiore kinda but also no
vinyl ironically has an advantage due to being worse
in a good world a cd would be much better because it's superior in every way and we record music digitally now anyway but in the current world audio engineers tend to pull bullshit during mastering which vinyl kinda prevents because it would be completely unplayable
so you end up with mastering that doesn't hurt your ears and has a semblance of dynamic range on a medium that famously has much worse dynamic range potential

@fiore well it applies to digital records too
the master for vinyl is pretty much always different (i have some modern records that i thought were good music but the way they are mastered for digital distribution just tires me out because of the constant barrage of equalized sound, while the vinyl just sounds a lot more mellow) because if you master a vinyl record too loudly/too compressed the turntable/cartridge won't be able to handle it (the stylus will skip and stuff, people already attempted back in the 80s)
