Why old music formats still matter in a streaming world
Streaming might be the easiest way to listen to music, but it is not the only way— and for many people, it is not the most meaningful way. Retro formats like vinyl, cassettes, and CDs are making a comeback because they offer something that playlists and algorithms cannot: a physical connection to sound.
This website explores why these formats still matter, how they shape the listening experience, and what they can teach us about slowing down and appreciating music more intentionally.
Fun fact: It can take around 450,000 streams to match the profit of about 100 vinyl sales.
