CDs just don’t have that “collector’s item” characteristic (yet?). Physical album sales are low enough nowadays that enthusiasts that are looking for a specific medium probably make up a very large portion of the buyers.

i gave up collecting physical music for space reasons but i have considered getting some LPs just for the large format album art. if nothing else they’d be cool to frame and display. CDs will never have that, they’re just going to go the way of the 8 track.

My thoughts exactly. Love the art, love the exclusives like posters. Personally I find the audio quality worse (although this is likely my cat's fault), but still love the format.

That being said, I have mostly backed out of buying vinyl after acquiring a small collection.

That video made me ditch my vinyl collection. I also live in a tiny apartment and was super happy to get some space back.
