It's the only physical music medium I'm really willing to buy, CDs are useless since I use streaming services and cassette tapes are just bad. The fact that there's a boom in vinyl is great for me because I love the art and colored vinyls that often are made.
- lfam 10y agoStreaming is convenient, but I think it's not a substitute for CDs. The value of CDs is that they provide a canonical and lossless recording, which isn't provided by vinyl, tapes, or streaming services (AFAIK). Of course, lossless digital audio files are even better.

More "accurate" reproduction certainly, but accuracy doesn't matter when the mastering is done by a monkey being prodded by a record exec.
