- I prefer to own vs rent music
  - I prefer physical to digital (albums often come with digital downloads)
  - I enjoy listening to full albums
  - I enjoy the album art, liner notes, posters, special releases, etc

Not all the music I want to own is available on vinyl, but at the same time, some of the music I listen to is not on streaming services. And some isn't available on CD. Nothing is perfect. I choose vinyl as it provided the best set of trade-offs for how I enjoy music.
