What does a CD collector look like then?

>>74935323
CD is the patrician choice

As someone who buys vinyl and CD, I'd say the CD collector is a pretty sensible, normal person, though they are commonly mislead about CD being unconditionally better than vinyl in the sound department.

If you can't appreciate a tangible physical copy with the artwork and booklet, or enjoy the ritual of playing a physical copy, then you're an underage pleb

Vinyl is great for exactly that, its an experience. Hipsters have ruined that

>>74935392

>hipsters have ruined that

How? Why do you give a shit about what hipsters are doing? Hipsters have never once entered my mind when I get comfy and plop that needle down.

>>74935381
This. In my case, a lot of the CDs I buy have extremely detailed session information which can't be found online.

It's the /mu/ disease to think that once something becomes popular or mainstream, you can no longer enjoy it yourself

You need to go back. Reddit is much more suitable for spotify subscribers.

So what do you do when there's no digital versions available for a record you want to listen to?

>>74935486
You buy it

>>74935512

Yes, you buy the record...

>>74935532

If its something sufficiently obscure that I literally can't find a digital rip anywhere at all then I'll generally go for the CD.

In any case, other people will own the hardware to rip a vinyl.

>listening to music
>not making music

AAAAAAAAAAARGH

>>74935554

I'm literally saying in the instance where there is no other version of the record other than the vinyl and there are no rips.

>>74935542

Yeah fuck me right for having an interest in music

>>74935595

Then rip it yourself.

>>74935605

You're an idiot.

OP says it's stupid to collect records.
I'm saying it's not stupid to collect records because one example being there are many records that exist where there exists no other version of it. Why would I rip a record when I already own a copy of it and can listen to it?

I'm a real patrician. I download DSD versions from HDtracks and other snake oil salesmen.

>That's fantastic that you're passionate about cardboard and listening to music on multi colored plastic You're a collector of rare vinyl, a total fanatic, that's completely absolutely hip, motherfucking fantastic, But I'm more concerned with how I feel

>>74935621

If you want to listen to it when you're away from home? I thought that was the entire point you were making, kek

So you guys just don’t buy an album if it isn’t on your favorite format?

I have tapes, vinyl, and CD’s. I prefer tapes but if there isn’t a tape I’m perfectly happy getting anything else

>>74935751
I dont even use Cassette, it still makes more sense than CD though
