I chose Digital for the poll, for listening to music. My true favorite medium is an instrument, like a guitar, with which I would serenade you by the sea shore for sure.

Love the sound of vinyl (and narwhals) but I listen mostly on my commute so no room for record player or giant salt water tank.

Digital is convenient but LIVE is always the best 🙂. Local orchestra last night and live jazz Friday 🙂

I love collecting Records!!

I would love to get back into vinyl, but.for.now it's digital, due to ease of access

I was big on compact discs for a number of years, but I'm getting more into digital nowadays, for convenience and storage space reasons. I'm putting all my music in mp3 files onto compact discs and DVD's.

Still have CDs, and even some tapes and vinyl. Too expensive to switch over to digital. If I want to listen to anything new, I'll use Spotify.

I've got CDs and vinyl but it's probably Youtube because I'm too lazy to get up and change the record/disc lol

I like 8tracks....

They had a tendency to slip...you could hear one track in the background playing in reverse...

The music in my head

Nothing beats the sound of a 45 jukebox. I used to have a Rockola, it was awesome.

Well I have a nostalgic love of media defunct but the simplicity and convenience of digital is great!… That said, I still have a turntable & a huge pile of records, once in a while that’s fun, we would be silly to think the advances aren’t improvements. I like vinyl because it reminds me of when I was a kid but not so much because it’s better.

I like digital. I can pack my lifes favorites onto my phone that can do a dozen other things at the same time. I can mix them, hear them anytime anywhere.
I can sort them out to play according to my mood or to set a mood. I can listen privately or share with friends. I can even go loud for a party.

Back in the day, I had a pretty nice turntable and everything was on vinyl. I also transferred many of my albums to cassette tape (ya, I'm that old), and made lots of custom tapes for myself. Now I have stuff I want to keep permanently on CD and use my iPod Nano for playing back, making lists. Same with movies. Everything's on Blu-Ray and I use streaming services. I get the appeal of records tho and know some people who collect and maintain their music that way.

@Bierbasstard I remember when the big tech breakthru was auto-reverse cassette decks. LOL!

Was a massive vinyl junkie, but had to sell up in the mid noughties, due to marriage and no room in new home. Have begun to collect vinyl again... Magical.

Actually still looking for a good plateform for my pitiful little mp3, mp4 library. Would like to expand my library and convert some of my vinyl. Suggestions? I'm currently using Pandora and google music and windows (barf) but I would like more flexibility.

Digital now. I owned a few hundred vinyl records and actually spent one winter converting all to digital. Listened to each record while reading and now all on mp3's with multiple back ups. Bookshelf systems plays USB flash drives so I can listen to all my old music. Plus I like using online when I don't want to listen to anything in particular.

What ever is available for what it is I'm looking for. Nowadays it's all digital, but I have quite a few colletible color vinyl.

I still have a shit ton of CD's from back in the day, but I mostly use online resources like Tidal and Deezer these days.

I'm all digital these days but I have a CD collection and some of them are CD's I have made myself. I'm able to make a CD as well as a studio could but homemade is burned into the disc while a pro CD is stamped in. Homemade will not last as long. I no longer carry CD's around with me however.
Vinyl is the best bet on sound and it is making a comeback. Take care of them and keep the scratches away and you have something of value.

I prefer digital, especially since the bulk of my music listening is in the car and I like to travel light. But narwhals are a close second.

2

I was into records/ vinyl till my first partner fucking ruined them. I don't mind as long as the sound is great.

I prefer lossless digital when I can get it. I loved vinyl but gave in to the convenience of digital a VERY long time ago.

Narwhals are okay but giants steal them to use as toothpicks !!!

Any medium. Vynil best. Use a lot of direct digital lossless formats too. FLAC,AAC etc...

I use adam a8x .. universal audio dacs in an Apollo with Fairchild emulators. The room is heavily treated and concrete. I heart music.
