Price depends on bands. Some charge a lot, some charge "what you want to give (at least 1 moneyz though)". The latter are the best. They don't extort me so I pay full price willingly. Those that demand fullprice can lick my hairy...u know which ๐
Tbh, I grew up with vinyl, never liked them. But only because of convenience reasons. Also I'm so ocd that I get nervous after playing it once and knowing it somehow lost quality now due to mechanics. Since CD first came out I was hooked. Convenient, fast and I could quickly choose a song etc. Then came cd-changers... Pure convenience bliss...
But with my first HD and CDROM I simply digitized every CD I had to FLAC, and now they're just....a backup stored safe and dry. Yes they lack in quality compared to a good vinyl. Totally. Even SACDs et al can't really compete with analogue sound.
So long story short. Can't beat vinyl for quality if you're audiophile enough to hear the differences. Me, personally, I'd mostly choose (SA)CDs for ease of use. Also a ripped vinyl with high Bitrate and depth is pretty close to the original yet more comfy ๐
