CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

Digital is more prevalent, it's cheaper. You have it, don't you? Does that answer your question? Once again, analog is a REAL TIME REPRESENTATION OF A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE. Digital is an approximation of the same. Get it?

Digital is cheaper? Really? Since when?

Pop quiz - If the recording is made digitally on digital tape isn’t that a REAL TIME REPRESENTATION OF A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE? 

Yeah,a decent disc costs less than twenty bucks (the last disc I bought was JJ Cale and Eric Clapton; Road to Escondito). Maybe your're getting ripped off; it wouldn't surprise me. The last record I bought costs considerably more, but it was worth it. Cheers! Pay as much as you can for that digital stuff. It will reward you in your own mind eventually.

What in the world does that mean?

Both digital and analog can be representations of a musical performance and both are an approximation!

(And if that is a refrain of the tired old "analog captures the sound continuously, digital chops it up and misses parts" then that’s just a myth and a misunderstanding).

I think the real question here is who’s the one getting ripped off? 😬 But if you’re happy that’s what counts.
