What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?

the question was, what percentage of *people* (not audiophiles) who listen to music listen exclusively analog vs digital. As I said, folks as us are a very small percentage of all music listeners. But, I have no idea what that percentage is. You?

I have no idea, but audiophiles are definitely in minority, there are “normal people” at the records shops, not audiophiles, and definitely not older people, so the question on this forum is a joke (as always), I know for sure that percentage of older people on this forum is 90% and this is the only reason CD even mentioned as a media, nobody use CDs (streaming and digital files - yes, but not CDs). CD is expired format supported by older generation only. Asking question on forum like this has nothing to do with reality. Everyone can go to the recordshop trying to catch someone over 40 y.o. (Normally buyers are much younger). I can’t remember any recordshop that sells CDs nowadays.

If the question was about USA only, then I’m talking about another country. The world is not the same. At the recordshops in my neighborhood they sell Vinyl and Tapes (and all cassette tapes are new releases from independent young artists).


Andwering the OP’s question if it was so simple:

I do NOT listen to any form of digital in my system at all and I don’t have TV at all. 

Digital is on my is iPhone and it’s enough.

If digital playback required as much tweaking as analog audiophiles would be more enthusiastic about digital! The more hands-on a hobby is, the more satisfaction for its participants!

I bought my first LP in 1964 - the Goldfinger soundtrack. I was 12 and had just seen the movie. My second LP was the Dr.No soundtrack. Again bought after seeing the movie. Later bought the Thunderball soundtrack after seeing the movie. And so it begins ...

I remember raking leaves in my neighbor's yard one fall afternoon so I could earn $5. Which I spent the next day at the local hi-fi/music store on Cream's Disraeli Gears LP. I was 15. And it goes on ...

I only use wood for heat and power and I don't have indoor plumbing at all. Not bad, eh? ;-)
