Vinyls break easily and sound kinda meh, even with decent equipment. CDs have fairly good quality and are easy to store and handle. Honestly I get why people like vinyl, big discs are fun and tinkering with analog stuff is its own hobby, but when it comes to collecting I prefer CDs.
I like old vinyl because these are my grandparents' and parents' records which I have heard myself a few times in my childhood.
I don't get recording digital data, then writing it to an analog medium which is then sold 15 times more expensive than it historically was.
