I just thought of something. Maybe they're just talking about in store sales. They're not talking about on line sales When cassettes are added to CDs you may be surprised. Kinda makes that $300.00 Bringing Down The Horse that I saw on eBay in a new perspective, doesn't it.
Good to hear vinyl is outselling CDs, and that it's back, BUT...lower the price for God's sake! At least 25 bucks for one LP? Not even Trump has that much cash.
Since I own and purchase CD and vinyl, I don’t have some great dog in this fight. My concern, however, is more long term. While the younger generations are discovering their affinity for physical media and the “cool factor” it has, I’m wondering about the future of vinyl/CD. For music lovers who are 40+, this interest likely hasn’t been solely to start conversation or to appear cultured and hip.
I have both. Both need cleaning. Cd just needs a microfibre cloth and water or isi prop alcohal. Vinyl. You really need a brush, distilled water, microfibre cloth and stylus cleaner...bare mi imum. If you are keen..spin clean or machine.
Vinyl still costs more than double what CDs cost. I still don't see what makes vinyl worth that much money. It's just plain ridiculous. CDs sound much better. Those people that spent their money on vinyl will regret it someday.
Vinyl sales have been growing for 16 years and dude says we will regret it. Do art collectors regret their art collections? You people are so willing to give money for digital ephemera, something that you don't own. You're the one being owned.
@@joed7185 If you got a good turntable and cartridge/stylus that are properly set up and taken care of as well as the records, you can play a record hundreds and hundreds of times. So basically, on average use, we are talking about decades and not unlikely a longer time than the average CD would last.
I'm ok with people liking vinyl as long as they truly understand its qualities and limitations. I'm not ok when truth is being avoided for monetary gain. I'd rather buy nicely mastered, with decent dynamic range music in lossless digital format than a space wasting vinyl. I can keep my music on a NAS or burn the files on m-disc for safe keeping. There's really no need for CDs these days because of streaming. And if I want to listen to the highest possible quality, I'll just use my high res. files on any of my devices. I'd rather send money straight to the artist to buy the digital files, than create more plastic waste.
Yeah you’re right. Some cds have different masterings of the same album, so getting them for that is one reason over streaming. Then you can rip the cd and stream it.
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl Good point I would say it does sound better when compared to the average system. And is easier to access. Record Junkies will say Vinyl has a warmer sound that they prefer.And don't mind searching the record bins. I's like treasure hunting. You never know what you gonna find. It's all about he experience and album art is a whole subject onto itself. Not to mention you actually have something physical that you can touch it's not in the clouds. It's great we have both choices.
I buy both CDs and vinyl. The only problem with vinyl is that a single vinyl LP costs about twice that of the same album CD.
Tell 'em - tell 'em
I never waited for a comeback. I started buying vinyl in the 90's in college.
i never stopped buying vinyl ,never gave into the brainwashing ...
Yeh ok
CD Is Best! Then Tape Cassettes Then VINYL
Nope, all analogue is best for sound quality - if done properly.
I've found lossless digital audio to be better than the cd because I don't have to pay for it.
@@1RungAtATime 😂
I sell vinyl records on my website, new vinyl. Price is going up & margins too thin. Retailers barely make up their rent
All these type physical media no matter CD, Cassette or Vinyl are always being a better deal to purchase than streaming music
The CD 💿 will be back.
I've bought nearly 400 cds in the last year or so
@@coreycrossman3447 LOL cds are for simps
@@Itsmeeee12345 I am extremely simp
i strongly agree
I've spent more on vinyl in this last year than all the music I got over the past 25 years that I didn't pay for at all.
Cassette Tapes were outselling vinyl before the cds were
Really? Pre recorded tapes were that huge? Thought most just bought blank.

@@VIDSTORAGE Also the cd player itself was expensive and didn't become affordable until the late 80s.

If that store had the same selection of cds then I can guarantee cds would outsell vinyl. Sick of this half ass reporting.

I have all my music on MP3, but I will try Vinyl.
In terms of revenue, but not unit sales, more CDs are still sold than vinyl records.
Oh yeah, find out what's happening in the UK and Germany, you might be surprised.
I never left,and still have an urge to buy,but only the original,not the 180 gr sh..t.😎
180 gram wouldn't be so bad if they didn't charge at least 25 bucks for a copy of it.
vinyl is more harm to environment !!!

I'm surprised people still bought that many CDS. It's all mute as digital downloads still rule the market.
Is Cactus the only record store in town
Definitely not. Sigs Lagoon and SoundWaves are great too
Some of those album covers are really great .... one can buy frames or wall mounts and hang them on the wall .... CD covers are way too little .....
They do this story every year; as if this hasn’t been happening for 15+ years now
I can rip music from my CD collection for my Sony (Flash) MP3 Players anytime
CDs suck because they scratch so easy and don’t have the art nearly as big
You handle cds badly then.
@@marleypumpkin4917 all it takes is one time and it’s done
Cds are repairable. The scratches can be buffed out with a resurfacer. Try resurfacing a record. You'll end up making it worse.

Exactly. Every time you play your vinyl the sound quality is ruined. CD's has the best sound quality and I can play it in my car.

I still prefer the cleaner sound of CDs. Once you get dust build up in the grooves than that's it!
no dust in my grooves!
Streaming is easily the best
Because it's FREE... Like on RUclips
@@raykane2063 No because it sounds better and easier to access

You can't stream analog audio
@@williamcll Who cares I can stream Amazon and or Apple Music anytime anywhere which blows away anything vinyl can offer
