Now that no one wants CDs I am buying more than ever at a buck a pop. I ordered over 50 CDs from the BMG CD Club this month alone….that is the only place I will purchase *new* CDs as they can be had for less than $5 each. I have thousands of LPs but would not consider paying more than a buck or 2 for any record. I have never and will never pay money for an MP3…with all those CDs and records, there’s absolutely no need.

I have only purchased 2 cds this year, and they were CD only releases. Over time the Vinyl vs Cd ratio has slowly moved toward vinyl being the favorite. One of my reasons is that vinyl holds value much better then a CD. Its nice to know that what I am buying will give me hours of listening pleasure and if I want to part with it chances are I can do so with the possibility of a profit (well at least more then then 2 bucks a CD is going to get me).

I have decided this year that I won’t buy a CD if I can get the same album on wax, the free download helps this, the lack of shelf space for any collection enforces this.

There is nothing like a good vinyl, i’m using CD to put under my whisky. I have a nice collection of the best from 60-70 and early 80′th. I’m playing on a Rotel and NAD amplyfier and allso sometime a JVC with Cerwin Vega AT 100. This evening i will spend with a verry nice dubble album “Steppen Wolf Live” and and to fill between the tracks a goo whisky and a hvanna. From Swedish Rocker born 47.

Many, many people are being more selective when it comes to the music format they prefer. Yes, vinyl gets the nod in my world, and I am not weird :o)

The last time I bought a cd it was 2006. Seriously.

I’m all aboard the vinyl train. It’s loads more fun to scour sweet record stores (Lost Weekend, I’m lookin’ in your direction) than best buy. iPod all day, vinyl at night.

All about vinyl, if it’s an album I think will sound better that way. I still buy CDs, although I do emusic.com. iTunes with gift certificates only really. The LPs with MP3 coupons is a big selling point for me.

I paid more than $20 for the latest Wilco when it came out and it had the CD included. The new British Sea Power LP has a CD as well. A great idea. I’ve pretty much always had a record player but didn’t buy much in the 90s, mainly due to lack of funds — not any real principle or anything.

My friend bought some vinyl pants in the early 90’s and I still make fun of him for that.

I buy maybe three cds a year compared to 3 lps a week (at least). Never bought a mp3.
