Why Vinyl Is Better Than Digital MP3
Vinyl records have been making a comeback in the last few years and for a good reason. Unlike digital MP3s, vinyl is not compressed, so it sounds better. For those of you who are old enough to remember when CDs were first introduced to the marketplace, you’ll probably recall that they said much worse than vinyl records.
The “warmer” sound quality of vinyl has made it one of the most popular ways for people to listen to music these days. In this blog post, we will discuss why vinyl records are much better than digital MP3.
Let’s look at these reasons.
- Purchasing Records Is A Unique Experience
There is a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with purchasing vinyl. In addition, it’s not just a mere CD or MP-IO card purchase: you have to physically go into the store and interact with people there (most likely those behind the counter). You can even talk to them about what kind of music they like and see if their tastes are similar to yours – it’s so much more than an online order.
This is one of the many reasons why vinyl records are so great: there’s a sense of community and human interaction that can’t be replicated. And, while this might not seem important to some people, it matters when you’re sitting in your room listening to music alone for hours on end.
2. You Can Make Money Off Vinyl Records
Recording studios have a lot of money invested in the production and distribution of recordings. For example, an album that costs $50 to produce may sell for up to $20 per CD or cassette tape. If someone records those songs onto blank CDs at home without permission from the record company, they can be sued if their copies are sold commercially.
- Vinyl Can Help You Improve Your Musical Taste
When you listen to an entire album on vinyl, it forces you to take in the music as a whole. When listening digitally, our brains focus more on individual tracks and skip around from one song or artist to another. This can contribute to developing sonic tastes that are not well-rounded.
Listening with headphones is also less likely than listening without them because they block out sound coming from outside of your ear canal, which means you don’t get interrupted by conversations at work or other noise going on nearby.
