I asked Londoners “Vinyl Records vs Digital Music?”
I hit the streets of London to ask a simple yet controversial question: Vinyl Records or Digital Music?
In this video, I interview everyday Londoners to find out which format they prefer for their music experience. From audiophiles who swear by the warmth of vinyl to tech-savvy streamers who love the convenience of digital, the answers might surprise you!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments - which side are YOU on? #VinylVsDigital #LondonInterviews #musicdebate

    I stream to find things, download a digital (preferably lossless) copy if I like it and buy the CD if I really like it as I want a physical copy. A lot of electronic/dance music was only released on vinyl though, but I never got into the format.

    You have to go very far back to win albums ruled, and were something you listen to at home. Out and about in vehicles it was always Radio. 8-tracks were expensive when they came out. And we really designed for use in cars. They were only around for about 10 years. From the late 60s to about 1982. Cassettes, we’re around the 60s and by the late 70s had taken over eight tracks and all other forms. Their small size portability and good sound quality. They of course, were only around for about 15 years or so and we’re easily surpassed by CDs. Which of course passed by digital.

    I'm lucky that I never got rid of any of my vinyl from when I was a kid. And like Mikael, I would find alot of records that people basically would toss out or would just donate to me. Also buying records at record conventions in the 90's for dirt cheap. I could basically make a mint these days if I sold some of those off. I still look for deals which still can be found if you're patient.

    My significant other's teenaged daughter doesnt have a CD player. She DOES have a record player though and she loves it. We got her a subscription to a streamer which she enjoys but she loves to throw on a record when she gets home. She enjoys having to get up and flip the record or reset the stylus.

    Ex DJ here, from my experience vinyl was great, but it took up a lot of room and weighed a lot. for a home collection Perhaps, it has its place! but also MP3’s, been able to listen to tracks in the car. Been able to download something any time anywhere, been able to have those songs across all your devices and take up no extra space or weight is absolutely amazing. so for me I still have a set up in my house and I still have vinyl, but it’s through traktor DJ so it’s a hybrid system of both vinyl and midi controller/sampler.

  • @Jacob-yb6bv
    @Jacob-yb6bv 4 дні тому

    Focusing on formats has always been a bit stupid, focus on music. If you can’t hear the pops and clicks and distortions and you’re happy to dust every side of every song you play and happy to buy and sharpen stylus and happy to accept the costs associated with outdated spinning plastic at slightly wavering speeds and grooves causing vibrations (often the wrong ones) being amplified and pushed through speakers then that’s great but it certainly isn’t the best way of doing things. Vinyl is expensive, takes up a lot of space and has been superseded in terms of accuracy by many decades of technology. Records age and wear the more they are played but if you like them, play them, have at it. If anyone wants several crates of vinyl records gathering dust since I used that format as a DJ - please get in touch, they are simply taking up space. For the size of a hard drive I have all the music I can ever listen to and I can leave it where it is and take copies of how ever much of it I like on a single sd card or my phone or a media player and play it and DJ it wherever I want. It’s in my pocket not filling up precious space.

    I own all their music. Didn't know about them until the late 1980's early 90's after they were long gone. Long before the internet a man from England sent me their albums from there to the US where I lived in Oregon at the time. Loved their music then and still do now. I really do feel that Vincent Crane was either the best keyboardist of all time or at least is up there with the best of the best. Their music changed quite drastically from that first album until it got greasy..... I like all of it. From the first one to the last.

    I remember back in the early 80's when digital recording on vinyl became a thing. I have a few Jazzfusion albums done that way. One thing I have found to be very important is the quality of the vinyl production. The quality of Japanese jazz recordings was always excellent back then.

    Funny how the people who don’t collect vinyl instantly feel uncool, hesitant to answer, embarrassed or start with an excuse. What does that tell you? It’s like, if you are a football fan yet have never been to a live game, you almost feel like you haven’t validated your support. Same with vinyl, you haven’t validated your love of music. Deep down you know you’re just not that into music and people find that hard to admit.
