I like putting a record on for more intangible benefits. It's a bit of a ritual to set everything up just right and get a nice sound out of it. Being so deliberate makes it something of an event where you're saying "I am going to spend the evening listening to music".

Yep and I like to read the lyrics and any additional content or art that comes with the album while I listen to it. I also like that it forces me to not skip any songs, as when I stream stuff I tend to skip even some good songs in order to get to my favorites faster. The sound quality isn't really the point for me with vinyl, it's more about immersing myself with the album and enjoying it like a movie.

I do this with my CDs, my ritual is mostly about setting up the ambience in the room though.

I'd love to have the space for a record player, but for now my vinyls are decoration.
