I support living artists, so whatever format they're selling at a show or in a record store, that's the one I'll buy. I stream as well but often use that to decide what to buy (and who to support). Quality wise, CD usually but I like LP artwork, the ritual of playing vinyl and reading the occasional liner note. FWIW, this discussion is similar to many I have in the photo world (I'm a fine art photog). Digital vs Analog. At the end of the day, they're just different experiences. |
About 80% streaming for me because of the convenience. Having millions of tunes at hand is incredible and the sound quality is good on most tracks. The other 20% is vinyl because, to my ears, a clean, well engineered vinyl pressing still sounds better. Maybe growing up with vinyl created a conditioned response, who knows? |
Sorry for the off-topic... @artistx - I'm a fine-art photographer too and am currently working on putting together a few books. I also used to be a concert photographer through the 70's. |
