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

@SRAZKVT @fiore that's where it started kinda
then it translated to radio (stuff that is louder on the radio == more profit, for some reason ???)
and once everyone went digital they all kinda settled on it and now almost every record is loud (digital mastering makes this exceedingly easy, they just push the limit of the cd and compress the DR and sometimes it even goes past the limit so it audibly distorts and then it's even worse)
even on vinyl they try to push it a bit but it usually stays reasonable because it both has to and because people often buy vinyl for this reason specifically
