It used to get tiring pulling a wagon full of records and a phonograph everywhere.

Digital for the convenience, and because I can let Pandora find new music for me, things I probably wouldn't have heard otherwise. I'm no good at finding it on my own

I bought a record player with Bluetooth capability this past Christmas and am just now starting to buy some vinyl. So far: The Joshua Tree by U2, Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, and Rumours by Fleetwood Mac.

Hanging onto vinyls makes as much sense to me as insisting on eight track tapes, VCRs, Polaroid cameras, and driving a model T.
But whatever.
I still like to drive horses on horse carts, because it's more fun than riding in cars.

Digital for new music

I have a record player, but I can’t take it to the gym with me.

Records are great because it forces you to listen to all of the music, then physically flip it for the other side. It's a more engaging experience.

Digital.

Vinyl keeps skipping and scratching when I drive.

So long as it is good music, I do NOT care how it is delivered... usually, NOT always, usually that means live.

Note: Back in 1980 (I think) a friend and I scored tickets to Lynyrd Skynyrd. They were so drunk/stoned they could NOT play in sync. We were big enough fans that we could listen to the lead guitar, or the drum beat, or the bass beat, whatever, and had to figure out which song it was... the vocals were there but a bit of a mess. I've never bought another Skynyrd album since. Part of what set me off is that the next day we were listening to KISW and they played a song from the concert, 'live' and it was beautiful! Turns out they were recording 16 individual tracks and frankensteined the individual pieces into sync. They WERE playing well, just NOT in concert (no pun intended).

This lead me to believe that some bands are great in studio, some are great live and some are good (if not great) at both... but not all.

I like vinyl for immersion in the music (having to flip means you pay more attention and the flow from song to song is planned), but digital is the way to go for most use cases. I can have all the music I want, sorted by mood, event, etc., ready to go with minimal effort and playing until I stop it.

Live? Youtube etc....

Like a lot of people here I have to go digital. Spotify all the way!!!!

Nothing sounds better than music played on a narwhal. It's so natural and just smooth. Especially when you play sea shanties. Nothing like a good old sea shanty on a narwhal

I have records I have 8 tracks I have cds I have mp3s I have a phonograph record I have an old man in my basement with a bagbipe

I still think the wax cylinder is best.

I think I move with the time started with vinyl then cassette cd now digital youtube most of the time o download to play offline depend on the mood bliss to heavy rock

Reel-to-reel. They had the warmth of vinyl and much more clarity.

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

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
