    Does vinyl automatically = better sound quality? I feel like some of the records are just MP3 or whatever written to a vinyl by a company not associated with the artist/label at all and consumers cop them thinking that they're always better quality

    nope

    a***og by definition has inferior sound reproduction to digital media (CD, high quality MP3s, etc.) but i do enjoy listening to vinyl because I like those a***og imperfections and also they function as collectible items, it also lets an album play through smoother for me compared to a pc or phone because i’ll want to sit through it and not change the song

    physical media also means that i own that copy and that it can’t get removed by streaming services

    What definition and who decides what quality is better to someone's ear? Elaborate

    digital is objectively superior to a***og since it is a perfect reproduction of the audio (obv lossless is the best for this)

    a***og vs digital is purely subjective but i can see why both sides are good and why people prefer either

    for me, it just depends on what i feel like listening to at the moment

    I was wondering this too.
    I remember reading somewhere that the higher quality in the past was due to a higher depth of sample rate or something; something that had to be cut down on for cassettes or CDs to work.
    But now that everything is made in a DAW that already starts with the lower sample rate, the difference is negligible, and possibly even the placebo effect.
    Not sure if that’s true, but I could believe it

    sometimes vinyl is worse now cuz a lot of newer albums have bad quality pressings. probably cuz they know they can pump them out without people caring as much about how they actually sound
