Since my OiNK account has been disabled, it's been hard to choose how I buy new music.
Vinyl:
Has the coolest sound quality
Can hang it (sweet wall art)
Can play it on my record player
Gets warped in the heat/ sun/ water
Can't replicate it
Can't put it on my iPod
Can't play it on my computer
Disc:
Have a physical copy of music
Can read the album insert (lyrics, art, notes)
Can play it in a cd player
Can play it in a car
Can play it on my computer
Can replicate it
Digital/ iTunes:
Cheaper than other options
Don't have to go to the store
Can play it on my computer
Loads immediately to iTunes
Full albums are cheaper than each individual song
There are some albums that I have on vinyl and don't have on disc or iTunes: Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel, Chutes Too Narrow by The Shins, and some live stuff from the Beatles. I've purchased the rest of my vinyls on disc or iTunes as well.
Is it fair that I have to pay for the music rights twice?
What if I illegally download an album that I already have on vinyl?
Would that be "wrong?"
