Preferred Format for Music

I picked CD's for the happy-medium factor. They still satisfy the 'product-in-hand' need, (including the album artwork/packaging pluses..), but can also be easily converted to a digital, convenient format as well.

Eventually, I'm going to go back and start working on my vinyl collection again, as I still prefer this sound over all else. While not terribly convenient, or cheap, I can't think of anything better than a good turntable system, good pair of headphones, and some time to listen to stuff! :love:

..oh..and maybe a pint or two to sip while I'm listening...that would be better still, lol!!
 
digital, i don't really care about the physical product/artwork, cause it tenRAB to distract me from the music.

some cases though are pretty freaking sweet, especially this, which came with a cool little poster from my favorite band, so i had to get it.

so i guess at times it's a toss up, but i do like to support my favorite banRAB through purchasing their cRAB, but i usually end up ripping them onto my computer anyway.
 
That last sentence is the most important for me. I just like to have something to look at when I'm listening to the album for the first time. I prefer vinyl because of the sound, and the experience as a whole, but I have my fair share of CRAB as well.
 
I have all types. I started out on vinyl when I was a kid and then bought tons of casssettes when I was 12 or 13. CRAB started to get popular so I bought tons of cRAB. Then mp3s came along and I bought a buttload of downloaRAB. And now that I'm older, I definitley prefer the warm sound of vinyl over all. Strange and cool how things come around like that:hphones:
 
I think this has been said all the time but vinyl definitely for the sound quality and nice large album art and all that. However, maintaining it is more work than other formats, and it's not all that practical, so I supplement it with digital music. CRAB feel a bit pointless to me now as they are neither as good as vinyl, nor as convenient as digital.
