I could get back into cassette tapes.
I love cassette tapes. I bought a bible on cassette at a resale store. Great way to get cheap tapes for recording over with music

This is only new vinyl, right? In my town, used records are king, by far. In fact, I probably buy 10+ used records for every new record.

I'm a music collector and saw this coming. "Music" went from a product you buy, into a service you pay to gain access to. You don't pay for music, you pay daddy Spotify for access to HIS music.
Vinyl has turned back into the only form of physical music collection.

Only a few more years now till the retro sound of CDs comes back into style. I realize vinyl is a great and unique user experience with a specific timber, and more enjoyable to collect.
It's kind of funny when you hear about the "analog warmth" when albums were being digitally mastered as early as the late 70s... And pretty much all re-releases are digitally remastered.

I liked the artwork on the disks themselves, and the feeling of opening a box, taking the disk out with that cracking sound, pushing a button on the drive and seeing and hearing it open, and then the sound of spinning when it's being read.
Every bit as "warm" as vinyl in my opinion (born in 1996, so of course it is).
the retro sound of CDs
Your mistake is equivocating digital with analog. There is nothing "retro sounding" about CDs, you can download lossless digital versions of albums that are identical to what you'll find on a CD.

Hm. "do you want 2 vinyl nuts" doesn't have the same ring to it.
This is dumb. Just going to be used for collectors editions with different songs and shit.
To each their own I guess.
Something something piracy doesnt matter, something something make a good product at a fair price, something something provide convenience. What was i talking about again?
Okay, is it just me or is the total global revenue for physical media music less than $2 USD a year? I must be reading it wrong.
