A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.

    But that’s sorta why collecting vinyls instead of CDs makes more sense. With CD can have the exact same thing as a file, but not so much with vinyl.

      I like buying CDs so I have a backup in case things go very wrong. The fact that a CD is the same as a digital file but physical plays to that advantage.

      That being said I think I’m thinking on starting my own vinyl collection now - got the bug thanks to buying a 7-inch from Grouper. CD and vinyl have completely different but still valid use cases.
