I know some people do, but I plan to go my whole life without owning a vinyl record. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

I would - but only if it has really nice cover art. Today I buy most music as MP3, but if I see a nice vinyl I might get that too. For example, last year I got the Decemberists album.

I'm the same as Mr. Prog Freak on this one. Like the album in my signature; I bought it on vinyl, because you can't appreciate the art in the size its in on a Jewel case, its simply to busy to be made that small.
Also, the supersize booklet is beautiful to read through. -------------

Cool, I have to agree that holding a phtysical LP in your hands of say an album like Tarkus, sure beats the CD. So artwork is the key then  thanks ------------- http://daccord-music.com/home.cfm |

Artwork is great, but vinyl also offers the best sound quality. Many people buy vinyl because of that. I would buy new vinyl if 1) I had a lot more money than I currently do and 2) I could play them in my car. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Your absolutely right on sound being a big factor, vinyls do sound better than cd's IMO ------------- http://daccord-music.com/home.cfm |

I buy everything on CD, occasionally Super Audio or DVD A (never download), but I might consider some stuff on vinyl. My dad found a box of old LPs under the house, so I have considered buying a turntable somewhere, and cranking them up. ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

I tend to buy vinyls if they are rare vinyl only or in some other way different from the cd version, but mostly cds. A good idea would be to mainly have it as cd and have some kinda pre-order limited edition vinyl or some limited special edition. |

| Unless I can get a CD for a significantly lower price I usually go for the vinyl. |

I always buy the vinyl version of a new album if one is available, latest purchases in 2009 - Saxon, Lily Allen, Steve Wilson, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Stereophonics, Muse and Them Crooked Vultures. 
I Rarely buy CD's, after 2 or 3 years they are worth little over 1 penny, while the vinyls are worth 30+ GBP..and downloads have no used commercial value at all.
