    I like buying CDs so I have a backup in case things go very wrong. The fact that a CD is the same as a digital file but physical plays to that advantage.

    That being said I think I’m thinking on starting my own vinyl collection now - got the bug thanks to buying a 7-inch from Grouper. CD and vinyl have completely different but still valid use cases.

      And those versions can have a very different mixing. Vinyl never suffered from the volume wars for example.
