- CD's, Cassettes & Vinyl are kinda unique....and drive me insane. Very loud, and sometimes very annoying, but also pretty cool, I like 'em. Let's look at them! Why didn't anyone tell me it's all Sonys fault, shakin' my head.

Vinyls for me are like, "I love this album so much, I want it taking up space in my house"
Me and my buddy buy them just to frame them in the hallway. It's basically the same as a poster of the album art but way more expensive, lol
Worth it
You mean owning your music?
thats why I collect cds instead 😌
YES EXACTLY
The only problem with vinyl is people price them way too high
Some of them are limited like 100-1000 copies (more or less ) so those are valuable. And ones that didn’t sell well but over time have become collectible
Too true. It feels like a real achievement though when you buy one.
@@NPGLAMB but those are the shittiest ones, lazy companies pressing bad records onto a wack colour and selling it overpriced because they forced a supply and demand imbalance knowing that people will fall for it
And it’s REAL easy to scratch them
@@cdelgado7296 only if you’re not very careful
Physical media is something that i will always have a soft spot for. I remember getting a Motown single for 50 cents at a thrift shop. To this day one of my greatest finds
don't mean to be that guy but singles are dirt cheap, especially when they were produced in the millions during the period where that was how artists sold records. I have hey jude on single from the first year of its pressing and I would probably get a fiver for it max, and that's only if I could find an idiot willing to pay so much for a single
@@JALC-x i gotcha man, but to me its still cool since its the only single I own.
Macintosh Plus - Floral Shoppe on vinyl is one of my hardest flexes.
But I also have a couple of signed from indie bands.
i saw a sing and an alblem with the same name on it both at a thrift store with a sign saying all cds are $1.00 and 50% off on Sundays. why would you buy thew single over the alblem?
@toby wong nice! I found Daryl Hall & Oats: H20 and Huey Lewis' Sports for $6 yesterday (:
Vinyl will always be my favorite way to listen to music, it's just a vibe ya know
it sounds worse, requires like 500 dollars at least, and are fragile as hell. it sucks ass and nobody should use it anhmore

I absolutely love CDs man. It's so nice when you've collected a bunch of them and can display them next to/on top of each other, whenever I look at them it is just a great feeling. I'm 15 year old so I don't have a lot of money and that's the reason why I don't buy vinyls, but when I'm older I wanna collect vinyls too.
Remember guys: buying music, in whatever way, is much better for the artist than streaming it or, even worse, illegally downloading it. Buying your favorite albums doesn't cost that much (if we're talking about buying them digitally or CDs) and can support the musician a lot.
i just got my first cd, and i am 14 lol
@@okayjango I got my first CD when I was 12, it was a shitty CD from a trash local rapper (I liked him back then for 6 months lol) which then I gave to a friend of mine who still enjoys his music but couldn't find the CD. I'm happy I gave the CD away, I don't want it in my collection anyway. But yeah, I also got serious about collecting CDs when I was 13, a few weeks before I turned 14.
Same, started collecting CDs two months ago
i wish i could buy another cd like pink floyd, but my mom will be angry bcuz the cd's were obsolete
@@okayjango when I started collecting CDs, I mostly bought Eminem's studio albums and I had to hide them because my father would get pissed, as he thinks that spending money on CDs is stupid lol
Call them "records" to avoid pissing off the vinyl snobs.
To be fair you should probably already know that if you’re making a video essay about it lmao
no
Lol everyone who listens to records calls them that.
@@ryland923 yes*
I thought calling them "vinyls" is what pissed them off, since "vinyl" just refers to the material the record is made of
I collect vinyl cuz i like the pretty pictures on the covers :)
only acceptable answer~
Can't wait to get my Donda vinyl :)
Me too and color vinyl
No cap. It's hard to appreciate album art when it's tiny af on your phone screen or on a CD. Vinyl covers offer a nice big canvas.
Idk why I collect them but I’ve been collecting for about 5 years now
I always love music on CDs, despite what people say, if you keep them in their case and don't play them wrong, they'll actually last LONGER than records. In addition, CDs have higher sound fidelity and aren't prone to wobble.
Yeah, CDs are better in pretty much every aspect, I mean they _were_ literally designed to replace records. I would say the only better thing about vinyl is the bigger artwork
@@martina-dd6vb The BIGGEST thing for me with CDs is the ability to skip/loop tracks.
Same for vinyl records. If you prevent it from dust and not play it on a low quality record player for more than 10 times, you can get the highest fidelity of physical media with the proper equipment.
@@amazeyourself_ i mean yah but with a knockoff Discman and a pair of decent headphones you can get the exact same or better audio quality out of a CD
Absolutely loving this new series of videos. Great stuff.
really unexpected to find you here

I used to prefer vinyl but now I started preferring cassettes. I love listening at home on a cassette deck or listening on the go on a Walkman. Making custom mixtapes is also fun but my favorite is going to shows for smaller bands and buying their cassettes, something about having a full cassettewith album cover and everything for a small band is really cool
Yea I've always preferred cassettes especially since you can record your own tapes easily and cause lots of blank tapes are dirt cheap
Cassettes are fun!
Except cassettes have less fidelity than records lol
@@liluglymane5676and a flac file has better fidelety then a record. your point is?
if i cared about fidelity over everything, then i would just listen to lossless audio files. fidelity isnt the point.
@@marblecar1162 that + you wont really notice unless you have decent headphones/speakers. and even if the lower quality is noticeable, it has to be HORRIBLE to no longer enjoy the song.
There’s just something so special about physical formats of music, especially vinyl. There’s something for me to hold my hands on, and look back at, reflecting on the memories that album gave me. And while listening to an album, I can look through the art within the sleeves and cover for it.
I agree, I hate how people digitalize everything. It’s fun to hold something physical and cool looking again. Kinda like books, you’re more engaged when using something physically than on-line. Baby Boomers and Gen X also have experience with vinyl records, so it’s cool that our hobbies relate to past generations.
I agree. Vinyls have so many disadvantages in longevity and sound quality but there is something so charming and enjoyable about having a physical copy of an album, and the experience of getting it from the store, unpacking it, looking at the art, etc.

@@abccba928I am visual person. I like to look at the little booklet, lyric sheets, and stuff like that that comes packed into a vinyl record or cassette tape
For finding/exploring new music, streaming is great, but it’s when you rlly love something (or it’s marked down in price at the local goodwill) that you get a physical copy (vinyl/CD/cassette). It has that collector element to it that’s always prevalent in fan culture, yk? Not to mention the sonic differences per each medium
I mean, there are sonic differences that are relevant but usually they're just...you know, worse. Listening to an album on a vinyl record is fun and all but it does sound noticeably lower quality. Plus it skips and crackles and hisses, which is super fucking annoying. Cassettes and 8tracks sound better but they also have a stupidly low shelf life because magnetic tape tends to degrade so quickly.
I would say cd is probably my favorite format.I like it because it takes up less space,is cheaper,and I can pack as many as I want into a car!Although,I do also like cassettes and vinyls.Vinyls allow you to see the artwork and listen to it better,and cassettes are cute little tapes that you can play on cool-looking tape players
Yesss and u can listen to cds w headphones easier and also on a speaker system
same! adore records and cassettes are cool, but CDs will always have a special place in my heart
It’s actually vinyl 🤓
is ur pfp mick karn? if so great taste lol
@@Busby2008umm no it’s cds actually
Not only is the way that vinyl records amazing, but also the way cassettes and CD's work too. The music on cassettes is both recorded onto the tape and played off it using magnetic waves. Because of this, a refrigerator magnet can actually erase a tape. In fact, some old tape recorders had an "erase mode" which basically was just a little fridge magnet that would activate.
And the way CD's work blows my mind, especially since it's 40-year-old technology. It has a little red light shine onto the disc, the red light reflects onto a computer dire thing, and it picks up microscopic dots and dashes and turns them into 1's and 0's, like morse code kinda, and it somehow can turn those 1's and 0's into music.
Same goes for vinyl. It's just a needle being dragged through a cut groove in a piece of plastic.
why all these people livin in the 90's, we have streaming -_-
@@HyperDevvsome albums aren’t on streaming, also it’s just more special to have the physical media instead of just pressing play and move on.

@@retrotaco11 cool,welcome to da club
How do you choose which format you are going to buy your albums on?
This 'alternative' music commentary is dope dude! Glad you're deciding to do something different!
sometimes i love CDs is because it helps me focus in the music that i am listening too, yes UA-cam and Spotify is good but there just too much distraction.. With loads of notification and new music that keep popping up, i find it difficult not to jump from one song to the other, However listening to a CD it keeps me locked into the band and their music with totally no distractions from any other source. thus CD is why i purchase them it keeps me focus Stay safe
This is what I’ve always said too. I listen to trance/house/dance music and on the CDS, the songs are mixed into one another. This means I let it play out without interfering, opposed to imusic which causes me to constantly shuffle every few minutes.
Really helpful when driving/studying as you cannot afford to keep looking
@@arjunsk1924 agree... and glad to have someone with the same thought too..
Huh, wasn't expecting to find old boy 1 Grit at 4:16. Nice hiding spot too
I lived on the reservation and having service isn't guaranteed in most places on the road. I started collecting CDs incase my phone dies and I'm glad I did! I love the collectables that comes with it. One of my favorites is the WOLF deluxe set that came with a patch and a calendar!
Nice
I love CDs, there are a lot of em nowadays being practically given away. One that I found during a college event was being given away by the radio station amongst a bin of other random CDs, and it’s absolutely fire. It’s like this nasty album cover with jpeg compression around like a setting moon with papyrus font for its title, but the music is like… so evocative of that late 90s early 2000s jazzy spa almost vaporwave vibe. It’s impermanence by Michael Manson for those curious. Just some random thing that turned out to be awesome
had to double-take at 7:24 for the no more parties in la soundbite, really clever lol
didn’t even notice that till i read this comment 🤣

Soo happy I just found this channel such a good video!! The abundance of sound effects really do keep it engaging and fun
I actually originally found you out from this type of video essay content before the Basically series, cool to see that you still do them here and there.
Although I love the convenience of streaming having a physical copy of your music and being able to hold it is really cool, great vid dude keep it up 👍
I've been watching since the most expensive music records, the animation quality really gets better every video! Great to see you going back to your talking videos.
This is the most refreshing stuff right here, can’t get enough bro, love the sense of humor. Please don’t stop 😂

Those MD sales were mainly from Japan. But I'm surprised it was only 22 million since everyone and their dogs in Japan had something to play MDs with back in the days.
I literally just watched your last video for the first time and I was like "hey, this is amazing, can't wait for this guy's next upload"

IT'S VINYL THE PLURAL OF VINYL IS VINYL AAAAA
The use of the plural vinyls makes me wanna break into your home and eat all your food
I shared my Cd collection two months ago and I like it when they come with mini posters. I've only gotten two so far
Song at 8:27 is called "Fade to Black" by Metallica
Started on cassettes 2 years ago and I'm not turning back
how the hell can you prefer cassettes over cds?! cassettes sounds awful
@@Jordan-fn5rjbro stop spreading hate in all these replies, let people enjoy what they like. Also, a type II or above tape in a proper deck can sound just as good as CD.
If you want to brag about quality, just use a lossless streaming service.
The fade to black joke caught me offguard and I loved it
it caught me off guard too. btw nice pfp.
Nice PFP you got there
my favorite thing in the whole world is collecting cd's. they can be sooo cheap too and be in great condition! i've never had to buy a cd for more than $25 and most of the ones i've bought were $5! it's great!
man i’m really loving your new stuff (:
Out of all the little jokes in this video, the "fade to black" one got me XD love it!
Cassette nerd here. ( I still collect some cds as well) but I like how tapes are small, cool looking and are easily portable unlike cds. Plus I enjoy working on Walkmans
Where do you buy your cassettes from? My local electronic stores don’t have anything.
@@bismuththebi thrift shops, garage sales, and online tape shops are great places. Ebay as well!
@@m1k3l1f3 thanks!
can i ask u something will cds work better on a xbox or ps3??? or sega dreamcast then a boombox??
@@Johnny1iq modern consoles should do just fine. You can rip the songs from the cd digitally to be stored on the Xbox, and Xbox 360 hard drives. I'm not too sure about the PS3 but it probably has a similar feature. I do still reccomend buying a radio with a cd player if it's an option for you. Happy collecting!
I collect CDs cos they’re more compact
also you can play on dvd players, xbox, or old hi fi systems
perfect for cars too!
I love physical copies of my favorite albums and artists, it makes me feel one step closer to the artists and I also love seeing all the credits and photoshoots! Listening to them is even better, wish new vinyls were cheaper
Bites, killer video as always. I love your style, your pacing, humor, and commentary!!!! Please keep up the great work.
Could you please tell me what you use to make these animations?? I tried digging for the info so I didn’t waste your time asking!!! Or if anyone else in the comments knows what software this is??? I would love to know!!!
I've been into vinyl for a couple years now, and it's so satisfying to put so much "effort" in deliberately playing an album you want to listen to. Here recently my grandparents sent me a huge collection of cassettes. I even purchased a Walkman. Needless to say, I think I'm going to be on a cassette kick for a bit!
(P.S. I've just realized I'm going in chronological order! Next up is CD's, haha.)
ITS VINYL
God damn dude I remember the last time I saw your sub count it was like 100. Good work love your vids!
I will cherish my vinyl collection forever and always. It's a much more, for lack of a better description, "intimate" way to listen to music. It's always fascinating to watch that record spin as the needle vibrates between the grooves, through some bizarre science creating some of the best music known to man.
inject this serotonin of seeing an onlysmallbites video, into our mf veinsss
i am a cassette collector bc i just love those little guys :)

I love the details in this video, like the light 6 on MBDTF at 5:56
A lot of the music I like to listen to is not being sold digitally, so I tend to prefer CDs. They've got a good balance of having music I like, being durable, having good sound quality, being physical, and taking up the right amount of space. They fit quite well on my bookshelf.

The process of creating your own playlists goes back way further than cassettes. Record changers that allowed you to stack multiple records to be played in succession have existed since 1927, and before that some portable record players had compartments store multiple records inside.
Later on with the success of the 45 small record booklets with handles became popular amongst teens in the 50s, and after that 8 tracks were the first true first form of general consumer tape that people would create playlists on
Love the resurgence in vinyl popularity. Some old fellow sees an opportunity to make a quick buck, thrifts it, and I get my Van Der Graaf records for like $5 at best.
Then there's King Crimson which somehow never sells below $30
I also love the resurgence of vinyls, although I do hate how much vinylheads pretend as if they sound better. They crackle, they hiss, they pop, they have inner groove distortion and even when they're brand new, the end of the record always sounds considerably worse than the beginning. They're also fragile and they lose sound quality every time you play them. They're a ton of fun to collect, they're a real work of art, and I'm glad they're popular still, but people be acting stupid as fuck about vinyls.
@@HeartlessValiumWhore it all really depends on the record and the turntable, my copy of aja by Steely Dan after a quick clean sounds incredible(better than digital) with almost no background noise. While I can't get anything by foo fighters to sound great no matter how much cleaning I put in. Digital is just more consistent
Anybody else love the feeling of vinyls in their hands?

Shoutout to the tiny ATCQ sample at 8:07.
I really wish you could make more 30 seconds and one minute rapper videos.
I honesty love those videos.
Me and my friend are trying to get all the mainstream audio types, I’ve got the most CDs, but he’s got a few vinyls, a fair amount of cassettes, and even 2 8-track tapes. There’s just something about listening to music on these old physical and niche formats that’s so fun and interesting, even if the audio has no low frequencies and the rest is covered in scratches and artifacts, we just say that the piece of media has “gained character with aging like fine wine”. Hence why if we wanna listen to music nicely, we buy CDs of it. But also being invested in music production and DJ-ing thanks entirely to Daft Punk and friends, we also wanna get lots of records later someday to be able to DJ oldskool style
this is an awesome series, like scott the woz but for music.
such a fucking great video dude!
as an artist who does physicals at home, there's interesting and notable noise styles that come from each player especially if the quality's low. for example vinyl likes to crackle, cassettes like to hiss, and cds also sometimes hiss depending on the player you use. i find it adds to the aesthetic of my music in particular which nowadays tries to mimic found footage recordings.
The fact you had a ytp reference. Ya love to see it😂
This is Scott the woz X music and I am now screaming in excitement
True👍👌
Long story short, most CDs are going to give you the best quality possible, vinyls are great to listen to original mixes and not modern blown out mixes, they also have their own tone since it's literally a needle dragging across a disk. Vinyls also got amazing covers and custom disks.

Love Cassettes Man The Sound The Size The Equipment Of Showing Via Beautiful VU Meter To A Bright Digital Meter The Format Is Underrated
To me listening to vinyl is like an experience. You have to take it out, you look at the beautiful packaging and the artwork, sometimes the vinyl is colored which I absolutely love, you place the needle on it, you cannot skip a song or go back (not easily anyway), and then you gotta turn it halfway. All this on a home sound system, no bluetooth. Which means if you're going to listen to it, you will stay in that room and you will interact with it rather than just listening to a playlist on a bluetooth speaker and not paying much attention
