Many people today find buying a vinyl totally useless, even if that vinyl is from their favorite artist. Why does this happen?

Well, today thanks to technological development, we can listen to thousands of songs thanks to our smartphone or audio player. While an old vinyl, which you can’t listen to while you’re traveling for example, digital music is portable, faster, easier and has higher sound quality. So the choice of digital music over vinyl is logical, but why after having said all this, does it still make sense to buy a vinyl?

Here are 5 Reasons To Have Vinyls:

1. A Different Listening Experience

When you listen to a vinyl you only do that! You will pay more attention to it, so you will be able to discover sounds or meanings for example, that you didn’t understand before as you were only listening to it to entertain yourself during another activities. It will “force” you to do an immersive and detailed type of listening.

2. Unique Sound Quality

If you listen to the same song on Spotify and on vinyl, you will notice a significantly different sound. Vinyl has a more delicate sound, low frequencies are “rounder” and highs are more “open”. While on Spotify (for example) due to the enormous compressions that are done in digital music, you will have a different sound, not necessarily worse, but certainly less gentle.

3. Beauty

Vinyls are beautiful. (you know that too!) That’s probably why more people are passionate about them today. Starting from the cover with its original size, full of meanings and attractive as a painting. Often inside a vinyl you can also find some sheets with the lyrics of the songs or some photos. Not to mention the vinyl itself, fascinating both in its classic black color and in the most varied colors and designs.

4. Vinyl's Space

A vinyl obviously needs a player, this leads you to create a space in your house dedicated to it and to listen to it as you prefer. This will also lead you to enjoy more your music and it will also affect your listening experience. The ideas and ways to create this little corner of personal music paradise are endless, give space to your creativity.

5. Artist's Choice

By listening to an album you like with a vinyl, you will have a complete and original experience that the artist had conceived. You will try to not skip songs and to respect the order of the tracks chosen by the artist, for example.

Final Conclusions

Hence, we understand that the vinyl brings a different experience of listening to our favorite music; a choice with some restrictions but which gives more information and nuances about the music you listen to. Listening to music on vinyl takes us back to the past, creates a movie-like atmosphere. Collecting and listening to vinyls still makes sense today and will hardly lose meaning even in the future. Because the subtle background rustle that vinyl makes is unique… and because vinyl ages, wears out… dies!
