CD's or Vinyl?

Physical media already somewhat obsolete in that vast majority of available media is used. Fewer and fewer new releases on vinyl or cd, especially true for cd. I continue to keep in touch with vinyl availability since I still run a pretty nice vinyl setup and titles available just simply pales in comparison to what is available on streams. 

There have been some recent threads here which have spoken to the superiority of listening to the music vs the sound. If this is true than streaming wins hands down, so much music available and so easily accessed. And if sound quality is important, as I fully agree with, a properly optimized streaming setup can be a winner here as well. 

My take is vinyl will never become totally obsolete due to unique sound qualities that are timeless. CD will die, it has no unique sound qualities vs streams, also more costly and more hassle.

There’s room for all. 
Do what you like. 

Vinyl, no question. It's what I actually look forward to actively listening to. Streaming is awesome for when I want music in the background during my day. My CD player has been collecting dust for about five years now, not sure why it's even in my rack.

I think the amount of hype regarding the curation/care of records is completely overblown, and for me it's part of the magic. Oh no, I have to actively engage with physical media! Next you're going to tell me I have to turn the pages of a book (remember those?)! :)

You know what else von Karajan supported, right? Hint: it was about 8 decades ago. 

Both. New and re-releases are sometimes only Digital and Vinyl or Digital, Vinyl and CD, or Digital and CD, or Vinyl only. 
 

I’ve ran into this a number of times.
