I don't know if vinyl sounds better, but I do know it's alot more fun. You get big artwork, and you can actually see the music cut into the disc. Watching the needle travel around the record and hearing the amazing sound being produced by those tiny grooves is fascinating to me.

nem mate of course vinyl sounds better! The horrible quality is mostly due to the record being dirty. The pops and crackle sounds you here are due to dust particles stuck in the record's groove's, but if you clean the record properly you can get a sound like you've never heard before. Think about it.

Each piece of music is a an actual object with its own stories to tell. Not only that but it's a good investment. I've got quite a lot of vinyl that are worth between £60-100 and even some over £100.

soren schjodt MP3s are compressed, with means that they slice off the highs and lows to make the file smaller so it will fit on a phone or PC better. Vinyl doesn't do that, they carve the highs and lows into the grooves and it gives you a great sound that was lost on the MP3, which compared to vinyl, sounds thin.

TheDrinkingNapalm Especially streaming music, a lot of streams are 92 or 128kbps which is really really lossy. Compared to proper lossless audio formats then on paper it's better but vinyl just sounds so much nicer... Don't get me wrong, digital music is very convenient and I would be lost without my ipod when I'm on the move and working, but as a massive music fan to have all my favourite songs and albums on vinyl... It just makes me happy. It's hard to describe, and only vinyl lovers will ever know or understand that feeling. It's a passion and a hobby and as someone who makes music part of their life it's just fantastic to be able to actually hold it right here in my hands.

@AndreasZimmerman when the needle goes over the grooves up moves up and down (it can move up and down from 20 times a second to 20,000 times a second) and so it vibrates. the vibration distorts (vibrates) a small electric signal which is amplified (with a tube or transistor (like in guitar amps)) and then this is fed to the speakers which reproduce the same motion the needle makes as it goes over the grooves on the vinyl but much louder. you can hear the music by just listening to the needle

For both vinyl & CD to sound great, care must be taken to capture the initial recording as well as possible, then of course the mastering must be done to provide the best sound possible, keeping the full dynamic range. Unfortunately, the "loudness war" has stuffed alot of that up.

Sound is just vibration. Remember the cutter used makin the original disk? The cutter machine receives the sound in the form of electricity, and cuts cuts the vibrations into The disk so that the vibrations would be reproduced if a needle is drawn over the grooves a a given number of revolutions per minute, like 45 rpm or 33 1/3 rpm. The needle in your record player receives the signal mechanically, and it is attached to an device that converts the vibrations into electricity.

Music has rarely been recorded direct to LP. But plenty of modern-day artists record to analog tape (not DAT). Most even go as far as to mix that to another master analog tape from which the vinyl records are mastered. Don't believe me? Just to name a few: Jack White, Radiohead, Ben Folds Five, The Black Keys, The Kills, Foo Fighters, Alabama Shakes, Best Coast, Beck. Most vinyl cut from digital are cut from 96/24 hi-rez files, like Red Hot Chili Peppers, She & Him, Queens of the Stone Age.

Before digital recordings - people captured audio on analog tape. Even if the vinyl record is made from a digital source the listener may perceive a more pleasing sound as there are numerous variables influencing the sound character eg: manufacturing process, vinyl mix, temperature of presses, playback equipment, phono preamp electronics to name but a few. CD playback depends a lot on the player & its digital-analog converter, which in the case of most consumer cd players is a cheap DAC chip.

Vinyl records are being brought back into production for obvious reasons . Amen New York City D.J. Sal Z.

In the production we see here, if you watch the first part, digital sound is converted to analog So the records produced at the end have come from the digital you call 'nothing'. The quality can't get better through that process Loseless formats will eventually cause LP to die out. Music isn't directly recorded onto LP anymore, it's converted, there's no advantage.

@boogerman087 It was never a direct recording to vinyl. Pre 80s used reel to reel tapes for studio masters, and then they switched to DAT (digital audio tape) in the late 80s. As far as the digital/analog debate... Almost everything produced since around '89 has been digitally mastered, so the sound argument only applies to music recorded before then.
