I'm someone that buys quite a few vinyl records, and almost all of my reasons are psychological. I like supporting artists, and buying records give me a way to do that and get something physical in return. I like having the big album art and putting on a record makes me much more likely to listen to entire albums instead of just random songs. Plus, putting on a record is an intentional act which puts me in a good mental state for listening to music. With digital download codes, I have no real reason to buy CDs as a good percentage of bands offer their music digitally in any format I'd want. CDs would just be something I'd burn to an mp3 player and throw in a closet somewhere. Plus, they're fun to collect. A lot of releases will have different colored vinyl or special added features to the album.
