Everything is streamed nowadays and no one buys CDs anymore so the Vinyl beating CDs thing is not that Vinyl is so popular it is a fad that will fade because most of the consumers of vinyl today are millennials and gen-z who will move on to the next thing when it comes along.

I mean, Taylor Swift, Panic at the Disco or Rhianna on vinyl? That's really sacrilege.

I actually enjoy Panic at the Disco.

Yeah. It’s more like “CDs undersell vinyl.”

Wonder if I can get a copy of “Don Ho: Live At Honolulu”?

Nailed it.

Audiophiles covet vinyl.

Nobody cares about CDs.

Mainstream music listeners (about 99.99% of the rest of us) stream.

Someday when my kids get older, I will crush their spirits when I regale them of the thousand of so 12" records that I owned at one point and that are now rotting away in landfills.

I can put a SteppenWolf or Queen CD in my computer and play it. That 12 inch vinyl will not fit in the slot. I tried, lol.

I am old school, but I do know how to stream to devices. I like my CDs. Oddly at my wife’s antique shop we sell a lot of vinyls amongst our antiques. It is the millennials buying them and old farts like me. I do not know why the millennials buy them.

True enough but the 1.2 billion vinyl pulled in is a pretty surprising number.

I support many rock artists by buying in vinyl in addition to having a digital copy. Artists are getting the shaft at almost every turn, and for those out there still killing it on the road, many of my favorites are in their 50s now, I’ll gladly fork over for merch and vinyl.

[TexasM1A]

I buy vinyl and cds all the time, very little streaming actually, I prefer the physical media.
But I’m a dinosaur so I guess it’s a generational thing.

Vinyl is so popular it is a fad

No so Vinyl is the highest quality of recording CD’s were a fad streaming doesn’t work every place radios still #2 best.
