Vinyl records sold more units than CDs in the U.S. last year -- for the first time since 1987. Larry Miller, clinical professor and director of Music Business Program at NYU Steinhardt, joins to discuss what's behind the revival of vinyl and vinyl fanatics weigh in on why they covet the medium.
For one I notice the wait times. I just got a record a few weeks ago that I ordered in May. Also variety and value. They’ll be multiple pressings/colors of the same album, and limited pressings that cause value to skyrocket as soon as pressings are shipped out.
My wife bought me a record player recently, as well as a really awesome bluetooth / wired Marshall speaker. Sold off almost all my CDs about 10 years ago. Now only do Apple Music streaming and yes, vinyl! Bought this #DirtyDozenBrassBand album years ago. Sounds great! pic.twitter.com/xCIMTl7B6A
1)since most computers no longer come with dvd/cd player, it discourages buying CDs. The industry has encouraged buying albums& songs on line— in the cloud. It requires an extra purchase of a DVD/CD player to own CDs.2) I prefer owning a thing, CD or vinyl, not “airwaves”.
