I love music streaming so much. To me it goes hand in hand with record collecting. If I stream something and I love it and want to have it forever then I buy it on vinyl. I’d always rather listen to vinyl, but with streaming I can listen to something and decided if it’s worth my money. Edit: Since making this comment Apple Music has gone lossless, so even more reason to stream before making a purchase

Honestly it's such a risk to buy new if you've never heard the album before. There are lots of great pawn shops, thrift stores, etc. that have cheap records where you don't have to worry about overspending though

he does have a point about streaming and digital storage in general. in 40-50 years you might not be able to find that movie or song you want to hear, because it might not be popular enough for any company to dedicate storage and bandwidth to it. At least if you own a physical copy and keep it in good condition, you will have it.

How to shop for records: 1.) treat it like thrift shopping go in with no expectations but remain open to anything 2.) check bargain bins never know if there’s a good deal lurking 3.) shop genres you like and if you see an artist you enjoy for a price you’ll pay take it 4.) if you see something that looks cool or interesting to you that you’ve never heard of before check the price and if it’s cheaper take that too THATS it basically lol other than that don’t pay high prices unless it’s a record you truly want NEVER spend a lot for a record you know you don’t have any attachment to

Michael Fremer is a legend---a LEGEND!---in the audiophile circles for years. I've been reading his record and analog reviews in Stereophile since I was in middle school/high school. And I'm 48 now! And as for that whole hipster/vinyl culture? Feh! It's about as tired as those played-out forest beards and skinny jeans! And newsflash: There is no such thing as a "vinyl resurgence." Vinyl never left. It's the damn tech followers that abandoned the format and went along with the mass consumers towards the CD/digital route.

Great take of shopping! The used record store near me has a large inventory and I always get a bit overwhelmed and give up looking. If I go looking for a particular LP or artist, I burn out quickly. No matter how much I try to understand his system of cataloging, I end up just giving up. If I walk in to just randomly look, I have better luck with picking up something.

if you hit a wall with your collecting either try looking through any scruffy albums you think could need an upgrade or replace a reissue with an original, or even explore a new avenue or two, also maybe use your whole month budget on a rare album you have been after for years. Another suggestion is to save your record budget for a few months and upgrade your playback system.

I just picked about 10 $5 records at my local vinyl shop yesterday. Souther Hillman Furay Band, Linda Ronstadt Get Closer, Marshall Crenshaw Field Day, Downtown, s/t, even a Poco Greatest Hits double lp. I check the lp for scratches, etc. and the sleeve and cover, then buy. Mostly I find lost gems. Cds I can find most anything. I have to balance price with quality and what I want or might enjoy. There was a Derek and Dominoes Fillmore Live double set for $5 but it was scratched pretty brutally but I would have bought for sure if not so bad.

Great video. I shop basically the same way. Always checking the New Arrivals bins first. Certain records won't stick around more than a day or two if people know what they are (who plays on it, about the record label, etc.) and they're collectible. Good point about getting a feel for how the store prices. I've given up on a few stores because they price too high, although it is usually worth at least digging through their bargain bins - sometimes they don't know anything about a certain record and drop a diamond into the rough. I have also found some great records mis-filed, like under New Age where no one really looks. And sometimes a store will price a certain genre really low because they're just not into it, even if their other stuff is overpriced. I actually used to shop a lot in Ann Arbor. My aunt and grandmother lived nearby and I would visit every year or so in the 80's and 90's in my teens/20s and come home with a stack of records. I think there was a Schoolkids and the Yazoo or Yazoo Annex. Great stores and great memories.

My best strategies are - friends some will sell you their records, used record stores like he said new arrivals and the records near the floor get ready because it can be boring, use album art and labels to your advantage when unfamiliar with the artist also the year of the pressing can help, ask the clerk directly if you have a title or artist in mind, they can either find it in store or order it for you. And ebay and craihlist, if anyone has suggestions on other second hand sites let me know by responding. And if you really sre into it create a black book of addresses and phone numbers for record stores and start dialing.

In a store that uses this rack this way, it’s the best place to start. After that, I go directly to the dollar bin.

Don't buy a turntable that is $100 or less if you want a vinyl to last long. Basically the needles on allot of turn tables that are under $100 or less will destroy your vinyl's grooves after a very few listens. Always clean your records if you see allot of dust and use one of the right methods and don't press too hard if you use a brush. that will make it last longer with a good record player. Also you should get a really good set of speakers for your record player. Also you should make sure your record player isn't really dusty every time you listen to a vinyl record. Also you should keep your vinyl in the case when your not listening. Also you should not let your vinyl be stored in and store your vinyl records vertically . With these tips you can make you keep your vinyl records sounding great and not have pops or clicks and last basically forever unless you harm the vinyl badly on accident or purpose. I know owning good stuff for vinyl may cost you allot of money, but if you are in to good sounding vinyl its worth saving your money to get good stuff for vinyl. DON'T BUY ANY CROSSLY RECORD PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some helpful videos about vinyl kzitem.info/news/bejne/rWiHzJ6ZoHabpo4 kzitem.info/news/bejne/wI2w2H9sfHuLpY4 kzitem.info/news/bejne/yWx3wICMg6mrpKg kzitem.info/news/bejne/2oxswKumhaeqnmk kzitem.info/news/bejne/o4t_vJ-msGuWgaA kzitem.info/news/bejne/kZ6ox3qlqXSgioI Also these sleeves are good. They come with 50 sleeves per pack www.amazon.com/Mobile-Fidelity-Inner-Sleeves-50Pk/dp/B001LQSFKY/192-0801735-2018313?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001LQSFKY&linkCode=as2&linkId=AJ6IUVP4CQM4HR7W&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl&tag=vineye-20 Always check if a record is actual in a case, if there is one in a case then you should look at the condition the record is in before buying it.
