Whats the appeal of vinyll's? My gf has one and the mp3s on my phone sound better. I don't get it. The pops and clicks are so annoying.
They're romantic. There's something very nice about putting a record on. It's hard to explain.

Large album art
Some people enjoy physical media
Tangible collections are more rewarding than "look at my 12TB of music" to some

and however strange the word romantic is for this, i'd agree.

I don't buy music but I imagine it's just a hobby like stamp collecting

Thats stupid. My gf record player looks like a suitcase. Wish it had a usb port on it so I could listen to my music. She has fn Justin Timberlake... I wanna smash that fucking thing.

Well, I guess we're done here.

Right? I don't get the appeal.
To me, it adds value to music. I love the feeling of putting a record on, it gives so much more meaning to the listening of music compared to chucking a Spotify playlist on. Vinyls are also very expensive, so I can only buy my very favourite albums. I do also like the large cover art a lot as well.
I just feel its a more tangible experience, a record player amp and speakers is an expensive investment, and that's before you even buy any music. I can listen to anything on Spotify any time of day, but its not special.
I understand some people don't get it though, its a huge money sink and very inconvenient.

Also it sounds more like the artist's original recording, almost like they're sort of inside the record player. It's much less compressed.
Also, I like me pops and clicks.

No, that is CD. CD offers a more accurate sonic depiction of the recording. Yes, digital uses very short samples to build up the entire sound, but the snippets are correct, while the equivalent vinyl pressing is continuous but a less accurate reproduction

This is bullshit. You're trying to convince me a fucking needle rubbing across a piece of plastic can produce a more accurate sound than high tech digital equipment? Don't be delusional.

I would call it more of a ritual. Whatever it is, I enjoy it and have for sometime. Part of the fun for me is not only buying new vinyl, but hunting for stuff at thrift stores etc. Finding and LP that you want in near mint condition for $1 is a pretty good time.
