Yeah I think the "it sounds better" argument is silly.
Personally I prefer records for these reasons:
- If I want to share a record with a friend, theres a greater chance they'll just let it play as opposed to a bluetooth connected speaker, where everyone decides they want to be the DJ.
- Having records often starts conversations. Its much more likely someone will see my records or ask to flip through them than say "Hey, can I peruse your Spotify library?"
I like music and it's nice to connect about it without having to force a conversation with everyone I meet.
That being said, I've often thought of living a "mobile" lifestyle like you mention, and if I do records would not be on my list of necessities.
