I recently bought a record player which converts vinyl to MP3, as I have a handful of rare records which have never been released on CD or MP3 (officially). This is the first time I’ve ever actually owned a record player, and I must say that I have fallen in love with the feeling of holding a physical record and the warm crackly sound of playing them from a turntable. I’m actually tempted to start building up a collection of records, but I’m thinking that maybe this is a frivolous waste of money. After all, I can immediately tell that CDs sound far superior to MP3s, but I still never bother with physical discs anymore, as they’re more hassle than switching on an MP3, and I don’t really have anywhere to put them.
This got me thinking. What is the format of choice for how you usually listen to your music, and why? I’m actually really curious to see the results of this thread. And I've added a fourth option to the poll, streaming, as this is on the verge of becoming the new standard, and it's pretty much a medium of its own in my opinion.
(And sorry if this has already been done before. I did a search, but the last thread on a similar topic that I could find was some years back, and it didn’t have a poll.)
