I don't disagree (goodness knows I've got fetishes of my own!) but I think sometimes vinyl's very limitations can work to the listener's advantage: For example, it limits the amount of multitasking that one can so, particularly as most modern turntables are fully manual. Whereas the typical streaming service may employ engagement algorithms. In other words, by striving to keep the subscriber connected as long as possible (by serving up additional, unasked-for content which they hope will prove sufficiently tolerable), the "abuse" may be baked into many streaming services.It's a paradox I see here, and in myself - the medium shouldn't be the message but we make it so. That article - we see it just as espousing vinyl - but it's not really about that. It's about someone's problematic relationship to music and showing that the relationship can change.
Hopefully wind-free okra .We had asparagus last night with dinner, and it has changed our lives.
We are shooting for next weekend to get a similar adrenaline rush again by eating okra!
Blu-rays will last longer than hard drives. Blu-rays are not obsolete. Many people still buy them because the streaming services don't offer what the Blu-ray itself can, better video and audio quality.
No, you assume. Unless you are suggesting that her (or your) relationship to her music is fundamentally different from my relationship to my music because she is listening on vinyl and I'm not. The point is that the relationship to the music is not defined by the medium. I've been a music lover since the late 70s and have listened to music on everything from 8-track to vinyl to now mostly digital files on my laptop. My relationship with the music is no different now than ever.
My father has bad memory so, he somehow managed to get a Toshiba HD-A2. We owned a few hd-dvd movies like Transformers, but ironically we mainly used it for DVD movies until my father gotten a LG Blu-ray player. He loved that Infinity tss-450, so much but he switched eventually over to some "real" infinity budget towers and such, I digress. When I was kid, I wanted those HD-DVD/Blu-ray combo optical drives. These days, its better & cheaper to get a Xbox 360 HD DVD drive and hook it up to your PC.My Blu-Rays are still playing fine.
Wish I could say the same about my HD-DVDs.
Yeah, I was one of those who gambled early on HD DVD over Blu-Ray and I have a lot of HD DVDs. They still look great, but it turns out many had a sort of 'rot' problem (or something like it), and especially Warner Bros HD DVDs are known to crap out. It's maddening because I have a whole bunch of Warner Bros HD DVDs and now if I want to watch one of those movies I have to deal with the fact there is a good chance the movie will just stop working at some random point. Maddening. (I'm slowly replacing the ones that crap out on me...or not buying them again).
Ok we got your relationship.
What was the OP’s relationship with the music?
So did I? I did get a player and ... moved to another city .. and by then HD-DVD had lost the battle.My Blu-Rays are still playing fine.

I don't really know...I mean what's anybody's relationship to the music? What does the phrase "relationship to the music" even mean? What if the person the story is about stops buying vinyl in 6 months and goes back to listening to streaming services exclusively (which is actually a pretty likely outcome)?
I dunno.
We got Sarg Ear Aches relationship, but it seemed to be proposing that they were speaking for the OP.
But ideally the OP sould approve or concur with The Sarg’s hypothesis.
I agree with this sentiment 100%. I love collecting music. Playing the music I've collected and loved and had amazing experiences with, increases my enjoyment not only of the music, but also the physical object. This history of appreciation of certain objects in our lives is a direct reflection of our personalities and a powerful trigger for our subconscious memory which we all know can have profound effects on our senses. Now excuse me while I go put on my favorite slippers, cue up some Joao Gilberto and sit down in my listening chair with a good book.As an old dude, I'm afflicted with asynchronous periodic sentimentality. I can't escape the pull of random pieces of vinyl or certain cassettes from time to time, calling out my name, begging me to play them 'just one more time.' It's an indulgence I enjoy and it helps keep me grounded.
I've made money collecting and trading vinyl. We have a pretty robust local club. That hobby basically pays for itself. My collection is worth substantially more than I've paid for it in any event.For me it was streaming that changed my relationship with music.
I discovered so many bands that I would never given a chance. Physical media is just a inconvenience these days ,no space, often expensive.. if I where to buy my favourite music as vinyl i could probably stream qobuz for the next 15 years. And buy a lifetime license for roon
Artwork, booklets are all nice and fine but I basically get that with Qobuz+roon on a iPad as well.
If vinyl changes your life you need to get one. Probably just me but I don't understand how the delivery system (other than SQ) changes how one reacts to the music, for me its just about the music. Touching stuff, cleaning a record, looking at glowing leds and tubes or music videos, more distraction than anything else. Guess I'm just used to listening to music with my ears and I don't need incentive to concentrate on the music.
This is really the spiel of the initiate, the converted. I've heard it from a lot of people, mainly younger than I. I stopped debating the point long ago, because it's pointless."...The idea that there's "musical magic" contained in vinyl. It's BS. "Was that what music is supposed to sound like? Or was it all a fever dream?" Come on now..."
