Both. Vinyl collection is unique. It is just nice to have them and put them somewhere in your room where everybody can seen them. You hardly ever play them. The cd's you collect to play.

I'd buy vinyls as well as CD's if I had something to play them with. Like you said, they got that "OG-feel".

But in the end it really doesn't matter to me what the media I collect is, I just want the songs on the media.

I have both, some stuff doesn't get realeased on certain formats so you've got to take what you can get.

I have probably 250-300 vinyl albums, I love it. It's cheap and I always listen to albums straight through whereas with a CD it's easy to skip through so some songs don't grow on you like they would on vinyl.

Plus you can transfer vinyl onto CD, it's a long process but saves money.

I don't really collect cd's, although I have tons... I look @ them as just a way to listen to music as opposed to something that's actually valuable or neat to have.

All of my vinyl I collect not really for the songs on the albums, but for the uniqueness of the album.  I even have a bunch of albums that are just old surf albums from the 60's, or albums with titles like "Swingin' sounds for lovers" with a picture of some half-naked chick from 1968 on it.  Most of that weird stuff like that has some really good music on it.  Best part is you can find boxes and boxes of them everywhere, and dig through and find your favorite 1 or 2 albums. 

If you're gonna collect strictly hiphop though I imagine it'd probably be different so I don't have a good suggestion for that.

Co-sign. I have about 100 vinyl records, that includes 12" and 7" singles as well, and around 1000+ CDs. I like collecting vinyl because it's not everyday you see someone with a nice vinyl collection. Like someone else said, some stuff can only be found on vinyl.

im going to give up most of my cd purchasing.. unless its a rare cd, or its some brand new more mainstream stuff that i just want to play in the car, but anything else will be strictly vinyl. help me to cut down from buying too much bullshit thats out there on cd.

if i had the choice i'd go with vinyl over cd's. like it was stated b4, it has that OG feeling to it when u put the needle on the record.

DAMN i wish i had me one  :(
