Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Vinyl is trash coming back to sell to collectors.
If you want to put covers up in a room or something go for it. But for listening to music they are the dumbest shit imaginable.
Preach. I am so fed up with vinyl. I hope more artist will continue releasing their music on CD instead.
Por que no los dos?
Some people like collecting vinyl records, others like collecting music on CDs.
To each their own, live and let live.
All things being equal sure, but vinyl is a severely outdated audio format that is both a lot more environmentally taxing as well as being a poor medium for music. Both in production and for shipping around the world.
I'll take CDs over vinyl any day.
Vinyl doesn't appeal to me personally compared to CDs, and it's generally less technically capable, but...I mean, people like what they like. As long as they aren't being misled as to the characteristics of what they're buying...shrugs
Some of it is opinion. It's like saying "which is better, chocolate or vanilla"?
If what you want is big album art, a neat mechanical gizmo to watch, and a playing experience that triggers nostalgia, then, hey, who am I to say "no, longevity, compactness, and audio fidelity are more important characteristics"?
I mean, some people like live audio. Some people like retro boom boxes.
End of the day, what you're doing is picking the thing that makes you personally happy.
So exactly what I said?
