I buy only albums.
Why kids settle for the sh!t sound of digital downloads is baffling to me.
It’s unlistenable.
And the Vienna Philharmonic doesn’t have a bunch of their stuff on Spotify.
That has more to do with the music and the playback devices. Digital music is not inferior to vinyl. Just the opposite. Mechanical reproduction cannot and does not fully recreate the original sound because of its physical limits.
Studies have shown that you can trick people who prefer vinyl because it's "better" into thinking a digital track is vinyl, by distorting the sound.
