Vinyl vs. Spotify: Invest or Listen?
The vinyl experience: when listening to music becomes a ritual
Listening to music on vinyl is a different story. It's not just about hitting play. It's about the smell of the new record, the soft crackle of the sound as it begins, and the sensation of touching the music with your hands. It's a format that demands presence, that asks you to sit and pay attention. And in return, it gives you a deep, rich, and unique experience.
Much more than sound: the ritual of analog
From gently lowering the needle to letting the entire album play without interruption, vinyl transforms every session into a special moment. There's no "skip track" or "shuffle mode." You hear the entire record, as it was originally intended. It's experiencing music with intention.
The return of vinyl: back to authenticity
There was a time when vinyl records were the heart of every home. In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, no party or get-together was complete without an LP playing. Then came cassettes, CDs, and streaming. Everything became more convenient, but also more impersonal. Today, with the rise of vinyl, we're once again valuing the physical, the tangible. And it shows in the numbers: in 2020, vinyl sales surpassed CD sales for the first time since the 1980s.
Streaming or vinyl: convenience or connection?
Spotify is convenient, yes. Ideal for discovering new music or playing something in the background. But vinyl… vinyl is a different vibe. It's about choosing calmly, connecting with each song, savoring the analog sound. Plus, your collection becomes part of your home: a vinyl shelf , a wooden record box , and suddenly that corner has a soul.
