MP3’s are great for convenience and the ability to load up a tiny player with hours of music but the quality generally sucks.
I hate the compressed digital sound and always prefer the full lossless experience.
I cannot listen to mp3’s...it just sounds horrible to me. Most people are tone deaf and probably cannot hear the difference anyway.
There really is something special about vinyl played on a high end analog equipment, and also most cds sound like crap. I am always disappointed in “remastered” cds, they usually never compare to the original. You would think that it would not be so hard to put out an original recording “ as is”, but they always seem to mess it up. I have a huge music collection and my very favorite stuff is "bootleg" recordings of my favorite bands, LIVE field recordings done with high end equipment can produce some really incredible results, the ambiance and experience can be really spectacular----something a crappy mp3 on a tiny portable player could never convey, but I digress ;)

Don’t get me wrong; I agree that vinyl is always better, but I really don’t think that CDs are any better than MP3s, and in real life, you usually can’t be around a turntable when you need music the most. Most of us have to resign to the fact that we can’t always hear every recording in the most optimum way. That’s just the way it’s always been.
