PaNel82cz@dgar I've got Meat Loaf there
Meat Loaf - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (PCM Stereo)
Uwe Caspari@PaNel82cz @dgar I have a player and a few vinyls. I do not collect and I play them rarely, but when I do, its nice. 😆
kauer@dgar I used to, but I disposed of my record collection some time ago after ripping those I could not get on CD. I used to put stickers on my record covers with my surname; it's amazing how many people have asked me, upon learning my surname, if I sold a copy of XYZ album... because if so, they now have it :-) 🙂
Patrick Hadfield@dgar no, but I have an extensive collection of LPs from a time before digital music; I rarely play them.
@patrickhadfield nice 🤘classic album collection.
CockneyLaurieI certainly don't have an Extensive collection... but I have a few.
An ex of mine had a friend who did have his entire Bedroom wall as LP shelving storage must have been hundreds - now that was extensive - I wonder if he still has them
Anthony 🇦🇺🦘🐨🪃🌟✨️🕯🧙♀️🏏🧩🎭🪁@dgar used to collect and played them even less and now they have been digitised they don't get played at all.
Jason844 🙃@dgar Answered "Yes, but rarely play them" as the best answer.
I don't collect vinyl. I have the records I bought in the late 70s into the 1990s. I also have a turntable that I can attached to my stereo receiver. Haven't actually done that in years. 😜
Got a lot of CDs, too. I did replace the cassette tapes with CDs and disposed of the tapes.
I'm just a tad too young for 8-Track, but old enough to remember them!
cmdrSprocket@dgar whenever I moved the moving contractors broke the record player (which was unused after repairing it). Finally I gave up on record players.
David de Groot@dgar I *have* vinyl records, and a record player, but haven't added to the collection in a long long time.

i’ve got about 20 that i haven’t been able to find on either a cd or streaming service… and a cd not on streaming service.
i have added some rather crappy digital copies of some tracks to my itunes library
Martin Howitt@dgar “collect” is a strong word. I have some vinyl.
@martinhowitt that’s fair. 🤘

Lord HeeHaw II@dgar I/we even have Shellack discs (inherited), mainly from the 40s-50s, but play them less often, and not without changing the needle .
Roknrol like the slur@dgar Not only a record player and records, but an old steel needle phonograph with a bunch of 10" albums from the early 1900's

Jochen Mader@dgar I have a personal rule to buy a physical release of a band the moment I start listening to them repeatedly on Spotify. I am also not a playlist person so I only listen to full albums all day long. But having a family with kids means I don't really get many days where I can use my audio setup to blast things at full volume :)
PhilWill@dgar I don't know if I could say I "collect" anymore, but I have a collection and occasionally buy an album on vinyl at a gig... mosy recent purchase at an actual record shop was a year or two ago, "Wall of eyes" by The Smile, last purchase at a gig, Elana Stone, Married to the Sound
The last record on the platter here was ABBA, Arrival (requested by the kiddos)

thefathippy@thefathippy the omission of this option was a clear oversight.
Slash909uk@dgar @thefathippy same here!
I still pick up the odd record in charity shops now and then. New releases I tend to buy the CD now and rip it immediately into my library.

Mister Dave@dgar "collect" as in "i sometimes purchase music that way", not as in "I'm a collector". it's mostly opportunism at estate sales and used bookstores

Ryan2one3@dgar I collect but rarely play them. Just waiting for the kids to grow up and start liking #blackmetal so we can all enjoy. 😂
John Maxwell@dgar I own both vinyl and a presumed-functioning turntable (OK, it almost certainly needs a new drive belt).
Both are relics of the time when vinyl was the only choice; haven't used it seriously since the early 90s.
Alexa Devreux-SwiftNo, but I used to. Unfortunately I lost it during am international move.
I do have plans to create a new collection and acquire a new player.

There's a basically unrepairable fault in my tonearm, which makes one channel intermittent, so I haven't been playing vinyl until I can find a reasonably priced quality replacement, which is an oxymoron when it comes to this stuff.

John Rohde Jensen@dgar Vinyl were a thing in my youth but I always found it rickety so CD's were a revelation.
In my older years I've looked pretty deep into vinyl and record players and have concluded it's not for me.
By now I'm deep into digital recording and processing my own stuff.

Unknown Pseudoartist@dgar no, and honestly I never understood what makes vinyls that special. Sure, the ritual to pick the disc and put it in the player before listening and all that, but contrary to the common belief I think it sounds worse than CD and lossless digital.
So my preferred method is still to listen to digital files locally, and I have a bunch of physical CDs collecting dust in my shelves because I used them only once to rip them lol.
