Favourite format for listening to music

Did I miss anything? I decided not to include radio or live music or anything like that. You'd think it's be a 3-way tie between vinyl, CD and MP3 but there may be minidisc sleepers out there.

In your head, while following the score. Maybe I shouldn't have included that one.

video game music was my shit in 4th grade

Funny things in that article Herman G. posted above: 1)I can't believe record companies really think cd singles have any future at all and 2)some article was posted last week or so saying that vinyl sales were up 13% or something this year, but the charts at the bottom of that article seem to indicate that vinyl singles sales are actually decreasing for both 7" and 12" formats.

I voted vinyl first and foremost, but for portability? - Yeah I'll be the dick that calls out FLAC/SHN/WAV - lossless baby lossless.

My favorite isn't my most frequent. Which to choose?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, no joke, my answer would be reel to reel. But I'm a freak.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

CD forever. Ban all other formats!

Not surprising. Geir is right though, CD is obviously the best.

how so?

― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Hahaha, of course

― Stevie D, Friday, 27 July 2007 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

I wish I had the luxury of a vinyl solution to my listening problems. There's the expense of a good player, delicate needle-to-vinyl placement that doesn't go well with my drunken listening habits, storage of huge and heavy albums, lint, wear and tear damage and decent speakers. So, for reasons of convenience, I chose mp3. Next would be the CD. But, if we're talking what SOUND I like best, it is vinyl, no doubt.
