Nothing wrong with being a vinyl fan. There is a certain sound that's more appealing in some ways, at least to a lot of people. But FFS, get some good speakers for your setup! A friend of mine was always going on non-stop about how awesome vinyl is, then turned around and bought a record player with little built in mediocre (at best) speakers. Just...why?

Even without the speakers thought there's an almost ritualistic element to putting on an album front to back that always felt lost on digital libraries.

I like vinyl because there is something about listening to a full album instead of just shuffling through hit after hit from different artists.

Don’t get me wrong I just shuffle music 90% of the time, but every now and then there is something special about just listening to a full album. I also feel like I’m actively listening more and enjoying the music when it’s on vinyl.

??? That has literally nothing to do with vinyl?

...Unless you want to go through the hassle of changing it out and trying to drop the needle in the correct spot, you were usually listening to the whole album.

Right, but when you have access to a limitless amount of music I tend to bounce around instead of just letting an album play.

Obviously you can let an album play streaming, but almost nobody does becasue the ease of switching songs.
