Crosby, Stills and Nash have joined Neil Young in pulling their music from Spotify:

Older folk will be frantically downloading 🙄

Older folk have the vinyl ;)

As each day passes it's looking more and more like the COVID disinformation thing is really just a smokescreen, a trigger to vent some backlash against social media over royalty disparities, based on what Rogan earns rightly so!

I don't get why younger artists are yet to jump on board, maybe they are scared to losing the followers, but perhaps they are more beholding to the social media royalties than the older artists who tasted success under different conditions.

True, but then there were share houses, house parties and folk who never returned borrowed LPs (that’s long players rather the the Spotted One).

I started cleaning my vinyl collection as a lockdown activity.  Gave it up after 15 or so 🙄

Do you remember those special cleaning heads you could buy, looked like a micro toothbrush? Sat on a swingarm opposite the needle.

Some people used a magic duster, looked like a whiteboard eraser.

FMD, they still sell them!

Vinyl started outselling cds a couple years ago for the first time since cds were a thing.
It's becoming big business with 'new' bands releasing their albums on vinyl to cash in on the trend.

I have a friend who is a very successful younger musician and her last album was vinyl.  I chucked my old stereo years ago and had to buy a new turntable to play the album she gave me.  Of course, I'm now playing the vinyl albums I refused to throw out.  I did ditch my singles collection - apart from the Aunty Jack coloured record  :)

Similar here... I did ditch my old (high quality :'( ) Turntable and amp and speakers... but I did hang on to all my albums and singles  ;D

I think I've told this story before, but my missus had a garage sale and gave away / sold all my mothballed HiFi kit while I was on an OS business trip. Rotel, Harmon Kardon, Peterson, TEAC, Audio Technica, etc., etc.. One bloke saw the value in the whole lot and got a bargain, I think if I sit still for too long it'll be my fate as well! I actually know who bought it, it's setup in a south facing sunroom / studio / retreat and used quite a lot as a complete system, so at least it's not been resold and I'm not that fussed.

Im not sure if its the fact that people don't buy media anymore.

Vynil isn't rising its cds falling as Spotify and apple music take over.  Who wants to house a collection anymore?  A couple of years back, a friend of mine gave me all his DVDs.  With the invention of Netflix and co he doesn't need them anymore. 

It is what it is.  Vynil is still the djs plaything.

I have so many hand signed gems (bands / individuals) they're worth a lot.  Collectors fraternities are common.  Just gotta know how valuable they are and how to protect them.  The foot slog over decades was worth every inch.

Most millenials will never understand the "warmth" of vinyl sound against a CD.

Many milennials wouldn't have listened to a CD either! :P
