I realize all the hipsters are buying vinyl. But are CD's still relevant other than ripping at high quality and flogging on?
Does anyone still rock a cd & amp? Can we have a vote.
Spotify. Downloads. CD. Vinyl.

cds rule i listen 2 them all the time in a real life cd player
its the best time ever 2 buy used cds right now cuz ppl are practicly giving them away for free. its defiantly a better deal vs buying mp3s most of the time unless ur talking about recently released music even then sometimes not. in the late 80s / early 90s the same thing happend with vinyl records ppl who stuck w/ vinyl thru that will brag how they got all this cool vinyls super cheap and now there really rare. now its hapening with cds well except maybe the being rare part i dunno im not nostrodamus
vinyls cool 2 but the problem is most albums u see in stores on vinyl im not interested. if u look at used cds compared to used vinyl theres a way better chance u find something cool in the cds. but u can still find sometimes cool vinyl for cheap if u look hard i found "mark isham - tibet" for $0.50 cents the other day

I wish you'd stop thinking I was a troll. Apart from amicable feuds I have ongoing with two members, from who I take an awful amount of shit, I'm really trying to behave and be kind.
If you think I'm being a cunt, it could mean I'm being cuntish but not a troll. I don't purposely go out of my way with a plan to be a dick, and often i saddens me when I get abuse from trolls and called a troll by other members. ;)

Chill your boots. Dust, Just try & answer the question posed in the thread and I might have some more respect for you. Not everything in the world is about you.

This wasn't "all about" me. That's just something thrown about, most of the time with no other intent than to be snide.
You'll find people talk about themselves all the time. Sometimes rather unfortunately, yet in this case it wasn't a selfie or about what I just ate. It wasn't me throwing a hissy fit, demanding to be liked. It was me (yes) asking you to stop seeing me as a troll and to see me as someone who is possibly brash, who sometimes forgets people have feelings, someone opinionated.
It's clear I've taken my trips here far too seriously over the years. Lately you've come across (for me, yes) as having a real problem (with me, again the 'me'), taking into account the few recent mildly aggressive messages you've been throwing in my direction. Your last message of course being a good example of what it means to be passive-aggressive.
If you end up thinking this rather unfortunately massive (for this place) post means I'm self-centred, and that I'm throwing my toys out of the pram then you are mistaken. In fact you thinking that could imply that you think it's all about you. That I really care about what you think.
No one comes here or cares enough for me to act thinking I have a public. Nor am I desperately trying to connect with you. It's just my left eye starts to twitch and the upper-left side of my lips starts to tremble when I'm told it isn't all about me for absolutely no reason other than to be prickly.

I did not say everyone who buys vinyl is a hipster. I just said "I realize all the hipsters are buying vinyl." Just their latest craze/scene init. Therefore your interpretation of my statement is incorrect ~crazone.

Just interested in the reasons people buy CD's rather than getting the download. What choices informed your decision? However much you might want me to arrest you, SignedUpToLOL I am going to resist on this occasion, Thanks for the offer though :)

The only reason I ever bought vinyl was because when I bought it? It wasn't available on anything else. It's pointless to buy vinyl just for the sake of having vinyl or watch it's ok around on the platter, unless you're a douche who thinks there's some kind of special thing about vinyl, which at most is a slightly "warmer" sound which I reality is total bullshit
The only people who buy vinyl to be cool are he same people who go to sites like pitchfork and would consider music journalism as a legitimate career

Oké my interpretation was wrong. To answer you question: vinyl is what I buy most of the time.

There's clearly a difference compared to digital formats.
Some prefer it, some don't. If you don't hear a difference though it's a bit worrying, for someone who makes tracks.

You're terrible at working people out. In your world it seems like there's either cool people like you, or there's "hipsters" who enjoy pitchfork. Your world is simplistic and malevolent.
I don't think IQ tests are entirely reliable but you've definitely shown me you belong in the 2 digits club.
I don't enjoy pitchfork, and you throw the word 'hipster' around with no idea as to it's true meaning, like all the cocks who constantly seek attention by being dicks with others.
You're the sort of person who writes an angry manifesto about how much he hates people and hipster cunts, and how one day, on the day of retribution, he will kill them all, and then himself, because the world is so unfair.
I suggest you skip to the last part.
The biggest hipster on this board, as you see the word, an angry little fuck with no comebacks who seems to hate people getting on, who is an elitist regarding music and who looks down on everyone is yourself. The guy who thinks he's cooler than the rest, but that no one gets it.
I still don't know wether I feel sorry for you or if I want to kick you down the street.
All you ever tell me is that I'm a hipster and that I want to be cool and seek people's approval. It's getting really old.
Try responding with a bit of clout and intellect this time, I fucking dare you!

You are oblivious to the fact that you are a new school hipster because your personality embodies it and your brain has half baked concepts of what constitutes subcultures.

I currently only listen to music either while in the car or at work. Both have high levels of background noise, and both using less than ideal speakers. My need for lossless digital or analog audio is moot. I try to stick with CDs (music obtained before 2006) or 320s (after 2006), but there is no corner at my house or life for a hifi system and record player to allow for proper appreciation of quality.
i'd someday wish for a pair of genelecs and a finely tuned listening space, but thats very low on my priorities.

if you have a fairly modern car, the car stereo is usually fantastic for listening, imo -- especially loud -- even though it's no good for tweaking the EQs. still, point taken, that's like... 192 or above, you're good. but if you work in a slightly quiet environment, then lossless starts to make a comeback
my phone has a thing where i can have separate EQ settings that kick in depending on where i am, and i wish it went further. like "i'm at home, the music library is over the LAN" vs. "the LAN is offline and the GPS says i'm elsewhere, so resort to what i have saved on the phone instead."
