Cat Lady Kydia Music 🇺🇦I saw a young person talking about how they just bought 6 vinyls from their favorite artists but that they didn’t have a “vinyl reader” to play them on yet, and I think I felt my face slide off.
Chris Smart@KydiaMusic Vinyl reader? :)
I'm not surprised though. I've seen articles claiming 40% of the people buying vinyl don't own a turntable, and some articles say it's closer to 50%.
It does make sense when I think about it, since the concept of a “record” is no longer tied to a specific medium. And some DJ decks are now fully digital, so “turntable” is also decoupled from the medium.
I also appreciate that the Kids are buying physical media again, and recognize it as an artform in its own right. And keeping that physical media pristine by still mostly listening to music via streaming and giving their favorite artists more streaming revenue is pretty savvy.
@KydiaMusic I still have all my old cd's, in case they come back in the same way in a few years' time. LOL Although I didn't keep the cases/covers.
Flipper 🐬🏳️🌈@VE3RWJ @KydiaMusic can I play your CDs on my vinyl reader?
