(this entire post is assuming you are recording into your computer)

I think that you are over simplifying this.

Recording your new records take time. Much more time than putting your new CD onto your computer, because you have to actually sit there and listen to the record while it is recording.

Then there is the actual sound of record, which is different than the sound of a CD.

Then there is the fact that vinyl noise gets recorded along with the song you are recording.

Those kind of things you don't have to worry about with a CD.

So, if you are buying the music simply for the pure audio enjoyment of listening to the delicious sounds of the music, and you have an solid system to listen to it on, and the music was easily available in both CD and vinyl, I would chose vinyl, because vinyl sounds better.

But, if you are buying the music to rip onto your MP3 player, or computer, or to listen to in your car, then I would chose a CD, because it is much quicker and more convienent to do these things with a CD.
