Agreed. Let people like what they like.
My deal is, that goes both ways. I've owned record players in the past, I've grown a sizeable vinyl collection, and I ended up selling it off because I'm living a much more mobile lifestyle now.
If the OP gets a more "active" experience (whatever that means to them) out of listening to a record instead of putting a CD in a cd player, great, but what bugs me is there's always an undercurrent of "it's better this way".
No, man, you just like it more. It's not "better" than listening to songs on an ipod or putting a CD on.
And all this talk about "it sounds better" or whatever, it all boils down to assigning objective measures to an experience that is, at its core, subjective. No, it's still just your preference. (Some people actually like the analogue tape sound. To them it's "better".)
Let people like what they like.
- skciva 9y agoYeah I think the "it sounds better" argument is silly. Personally I prefer records for these reasons: - If I want to share a record with a friend, theres a greater chance they'll just let it play as opposed to a bluetooth connected speaker, where everyone decides they want to be the DJ. - Having records often starts conversations. Its much more likely someone will see my records or ask to flip through them than say "Hey, can I peruse your Spotify library?" I like music and it's nice to connect about it without having to force a conversation with everyone I meet. That being said, I've often thought of living a "mobile" lifestyle like you mention, and if I do records would not be on my list of necessities.
