Vinyl,cd or download.........

If I want the whole thing I get a CD (I like having something solid, with cover art, credits/lyrics etc). If I just want a few songs I download. My albums all warped and my mid 80s turntable is questionable so I no longer do vinyl.

I usually get a CD if there is something I really want to listen to. I have a collection of vinyl albums and 45's from when I was a teenager that I value but never listen to anymore. We did get a turntable last year in case nostalgia strikes but only used it once so far. Maybe I'll break it out tonight for old times sake. :stereo:

Only mp3s I have is music I have transfered from my vinyl and cd collection. I did get a free download of Fleet Foxes album when I bought their vinyl, but I gave that away to my girlfriend.

As of now I have loads of mp3 files, the main reason is I like to listen before I buy and I never get around to deleting them. When I find something I like, I buy the CD. All my vinyls are just laying around because my turntable broke.

All formats.

Typically I'll download first to try before I buy.

If I like I buy, preferably on vinyl.

If no vinyl, then CD.

I actually still enjoy taking some "quality time" and sitting down and listening to music rather than have it only be as background for the car, gym, etc.

2 "normal" kids, a 'special needs' kid, a wife, a stressful job; I need that 'escape'.

CD. I can listen to them in my car as well as on my iPod, and the "real deal" CDs are easier to organize than burnt CDs because they say the album/band name on the side of the case (weird, nitpicky thing, but you kinda reach a point where organization is necessary). Plus, my CD burner is broken, so I couldn't burn my downloads to a CD anyway. I do still download single songs, though, either to try a band out or if I know I just want that one song, or if I just can't wait to buy the CD (and it's getting harder to find music stores with any selection at all around here). I prefer listening to vinyl over CDs at home, but it's a bummer that you can't take it in the car with you. Doesn't stop me from having quite a few records, though, heh.
