I'm not sure I get why vinyl is so big now. It is not an ideal medium, but there's a mix of nostalgia plus curiosity by younger people. I grew up with it and still have a load of albums. Have also bought a few recent special editions, but they all came with digital versions which are what I actually listen to. That's said, I have some stuff that is not on the PC and I'll still put that on the deck now and again.
I'm a big Bill Bailey fan and have seen him live twice. Such a talented man and Black Books is a classic.
I think the sad fact that musicians can actually make money on vinyl is the main reason it has returned. There is nostalgia for sure, but also a real object that you can buy and very good quality sound. A 24 bit FLAC file is of course equally good or better as you will have less noise and also an easier interface...
I still listen to records quite often. I like that the record or concert is finished and then there is silence or a click, I also don't have all the music as CD or file so if I have to choose between lossy Youtube and an LP I prefer the latter. But most of the music I buy is digital these days.
I don't have space for everything on vinyl. I should really just buy downloads, but I get tempted by CDs. It's interesting that the higher definition formats did not really take off, although I have some high definition recordings on DVD.
Considering that digital formats mostly are lossy aac or mp3 it shows that most people don't really care that much. Many youngsters simply listen to youtube!
People listen to music on different ways. I used to have a crappy little battery radio when I was a kid, but could still enjoy the tunes. Now lots of people use cheap earphones that may be a little better. There have always been the audiophiles, but I go for the middle ground of good source audio and reasonable speakers or headphones.
