Compact discs are superior in every way still

audio wise sure, but CDs don't last like records. Discs and cassettes gradually wear out, while old vinyl still plays well

>>71326430
this is simply incorrect

No it isn't. CDs are prone to all kinds of degradation that it is widely believed give it less of a lifespan than vinyl.

There is a layer of aluminum which makes CDs susceptible to oxidation over time, no matter how well kept they are, which is not the case with vinyl. You're wrong.

Records literally wear out a tiny bit every time you listen to them

> but CDs don't last like records

I think it's too soon to say that. CDs only exist for around 30 years now, compared to 70 years old vinyl, and while there are clear reports of rotting CDs, they're mostly caused by manufacturing defect rather than a natural thing.

That being said, I also prefer vinyl because it has been proven to last a long-ass time, if reasonably well-kept. Despite that, I already have a digital copy (be it download or, in rare cases, direct vinyl rips) of them anyway.

That's fair to say. I guess the main 'leaving a legacy' aspect of their appeal to me is just that that's what's been around when it was passed down and down.

I listen to a lot of free improv and free jazz and often it's honestly easier to stumble across an LP or CD in a record store than find it online. Also, those types of recordings maintain their value well. Also, jazz/improv liner notes are often good reads.

i like those liners that kind of put you in the room of the sessions, the mood of the day, etc
