CD vs. Vinyl

[big screen satellite]

for me its not the listening pleasure or even the storage issue, vinyl offers a better format for simply showcasing decent artwork, they look nicer than CD's (in most instances)

but if it was a case of sound quality then i'd go for CD ever time now, but i'm from a vinyl age so will buy vinyl if, I :

a) dig the cover / artwork or

b) am collecting everything by that artist (i.e. underworld) and in so doing i buy both...

i have the facility to record my vinyl, but more often than not try and find the CD version first, as recording vinyl is so much hastle...

the only instances i tend to buy anything on vinyl over CD's, and the quality of the cover is not an isssue, is, if that the vinyl contains different mixes from the CD version...i'm talking of Vinyl 12" singles vs CD singles rather than albums in this case though....

anyhow, i think most days people buy CD's, only hard core audiophiles or collectors buy vinyl, even dj's will get cd's now as its easier to rip the best tracks to one cd-r and play off those....
