Are you still addicted to vinyl or do you now source your music otherwise?

Are you still addicted to vinyl?  Or are you strictly digital now? How do you prefer your music delivered these days?

You have to add Streaming--I've been using Spotify about 6-7 hours a day at work. Before that, it was Live 365. Before that, Spinner.

At home, I use Pandora through my Roku box.

I do cd's but more recently have most of them converted to MP3 (stored on an external drive), I keep 8Gb of them on my little cheap MP3 player which I plug into my home stereo and put on shuffle and let play all day long!

Done.

As a record collector, I'm addicted. But, cds and MP3 I use the most.

I still love to get vinyl, always alot of extras with vinyl. I buy cd's and save them to my hard drive in case the cd gets destroyed. I guess I am a sucker for having the actual artwork, lyrics etc...

i not only am addicted to vinyl, its the sole source of my music delivery when im at home. period.
i only use cd's in the car.

i bought one of those fancy turntables to convert all my records to digital.. gave up after 1 record.. forget it!! lol

Just bought an ION Quick Play turntable for transferring vinyl to MP3 -- on sale for $25.00 (half price) at Bed, Bath & Beyond.  Simple to use -- not a high end audiophile item -- but for the price?  Can't beat it.

Still plenty of vinyl (including 78s!) and CDs here -- but I do stream the Motorbilly show at Live 365, use Pandora sometimes -- but never quite figured out Spotify.  My wife has Sirius XM radio in her car -- and now I can listen on-line -- so Little Steven's Underground Garage has become a fave....

I buy a lot of CDs directly from the indie label rockabilly, surf guitar and roots country bands I go see live.

Vinyl is the preferred method to ease my mind and forget all my troubles. nothing in my opinion is as good as analog sound. and the days of listening to a whole album, side A and B seem to be over, how many songs would you have missed ,or didnt have their chance to grow on you if it werent for vinyl and not being able to skip songs? I do listen to cds in the car and my mp3 player and newer music (unless i like it and can find it released on vinyl) at work but nothing compares records. I have WELL over 500 records, from slim whitman to LED Zepplin, miles davis to the ACCUSED. I love them all and will keep listening to them till my last breath.

I've got everything from shellac 78's to Harddrive files -

vinyl or cd which sounds better???

[scott_of_smeg]

you should differentiate SIRIUS XM and radio. i only listen to SIRIUS XM in the car and it was so worth the subscription.  no commercials and uncensored! it is lame but one of my favorite stations is a 90's grunge station. i hate the majority of the songs and yet i know all the words. i am a gluten for punishment. can't beat NPR either.

that being said, vinyl is only form played in the house.

Actually for simplicity's sake I'm going to continue to define anything that's played through a traditional radio receiver as radio.

Mainly CDs here because of the convenience but I still have my vinyl collection.  Just don't have a record player at the moment.  Agree that vinyl still sounds better but I also love the feel of opening a gatefold and reading the liner notes as well as the lyrics.  Plus, it seems the artwork was not only larger but better and more complex.  The cd artform never has really grabbed me.

BTW, when microwaves came out, we used to call it "nuking" the food.  Lately, it has become "digitizing" it.

My three are vinyl (we have a great turntable but I still want my own in violet) .. CDs .. and I love to listen to the radio, especially Little Steven's Underground Garage.
