[QUOTE="goldfritter, post: 1130569, member: 23412"] To add to this, I think there is a growing awareness of how artists are being shafted by streaming services. There is a perception that buying LPs means more money goes into the artist's pocket. This doesn't ignore the slice taken by the record company, but it still works out better than streaming (that is the perception anyway). Artists also often self-release their music on vinyl. Buying digital files (MP3 or FLAC) would achieve this same goal, but it doesn't add anything to the experience above streaming from Spotify/YouTube etc. - even though the sound quality is better, the systems and the types of music flatten out those differences. And you don't get the tactile/social aspect that vinyl allows. And yes, there is a certain aesthetic associated with record players and collections of records displayed on shelves, that young people find compelling. But for listening in the car, or while on the move, or quickly queuing something up to play in the background, or to construct playlists to send to friends, or for sharing and discovering new music - streaming services will always exist in parallel with vinyl.
