CD or Vinyl? What takes up more of your collection?

[The Butt]

Starting this poll, as a little experiment. I had a poster on another board tell me that CD's will eventually fade away, but vinyl will live on, since it's more popular than CDs.

I rebutted saying that I didn't think this was true, and that I thought CDs are a lot more popular. So now, I'm posting this thread, to interview the ultimatemetal.com community as to their music collections.

What takes up the majority of your physical music collection? (ie: ignore the downloaded music you have.)

Never really got into collecting Vinyls although I can see why people would.

Despite the fact that I prefer the vinyl format overall in terms of what I would rather listen to, I've been collecting CDs for several years longer than I've been collecting vinyls, and the sheer convenience of the CD and the (usually) higher price of vinyls significantly shifts the favor toward what I buy to CDs. Basically, if there is a CD and an LP of an item available, I'll buy the CD, unless it's something that I really like for the LP is very high quality, and then I'll buy both.

 

[Zephyrus]

CD's, I have a couple hundred.

I have one vinyl record, Emperor's Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk.

 

[username345]

I only own CDs, though I wouldn't mind getting some vinyls.

 

[Koude Haat]

99.9% of my collection is cds. i own like 3 vinyls,(Archgoat - Whore of Bethlehem 2 different versions of profanatica - Profanatitas De Domonatia)

 

[The Ozzman]

I own 5 vinyl records, 3 Music DVDs and a few VHS tapes. The rest is CDs.

 

[Killbot]

I only have one vinyl record, which I bought by accident. I don't even have a bloody vinyl player!

0 vinyl
600+ Cds
Cds by an ass whipping


If I ever were to buy any vinyl in the future, they'd most certainly be for decoration only. you won't ever catch me combing the dirt out of my vinyls on Sunday morning. There's nothing wrong with being a vinyl aficionado, it's just not for me.

Only faggots or retards who don't know how to use a record properly ever need to use something like that. Taking care of vinyl is seriously not very hard at all.

 

[Slayed Necros]

CDs. I own a couple of records but I have no means to play them. I'd like to change this, though, seeing as a lot of cool stuff is only released in 7" vinyl format.

 

[Alter]

I need a cheap record player. Where do I start to look?

 

[Psychonaut]

~1500 CDs / ~50 vinyl / ~100 tapes so CD's wins. I would love to start collecting vinyl though, but it'll cost an assload to get caught up
