Why aren't hipsters allowed to like compact discs?
Stefan Autsa:
I think [PERSONAL OPINION] is the best way, really. Anything else is just [SWEARWORD].

I've only just begun to appreciate vinyl. I'd say everything has it's place. mp3 is always going to be most convenient in terms of the ability to store it on disc, drive or flash. CDs are nice for the marketability and ease of access. Vinyl you've got the very physical act of listening combined with huge art work, it makes for a much more sensory experience in my opinion.
One thing I have noticed at my local record store is that a lot of vinyl now comes with a free digital download of the album. I'd like to see this becoming the norm for albums.
Currently I own 4 7inch records, 200ish CDs and 22gig of mp3s which also include my 200ish CDs. I would like to end up with more vinyl than CDs but that'll take me a fair while considering I've purchased my CDs over the past 8 years or so.

Yes! That was such a good idea. I love vinyl, but I also love my ipod, and I don't have the ability to download music. So CDs are the only realistic option for me.
Edit: I should clarify that I don't have the ability to pirate music. I use a shared computer and don't have access privileges to install filesharing software. Lameeee.

I would very much have liked to start my enormous CD collection with vinyl instead, but CD's smaller size has made it much easier for a junior in high school to store in his room. I really would not know what to do with a vinyl collection, which means, where to put it. Also, being the only musically inclined member of my residential family, I have no access to any medium for playing vinyl. I wish I did, and that vinyl wasn't such an expensive endeavor in comparison to CD's. I guess when I go to college I'll start a collection.
Rizzo:
Expensive? Damn. Here it's the same price or significantly cheaper than CDs.
