What format are people buying???

CD,WAV, MP3 or vinyl
I haven't bought vinyl since SOTT, and was going to buy CD and MP3 versions so I have on ipod/PC before CD arrives. Still think vinyl maybe best but CD is ok only hi-fi and in car

iTunes pre-order on Art not ruling out buying the CD but unlikely. Maybe I'll buy the CD or wav files for plectrum to get all that analogue goodness.... Humm...

You'll buy one of two digital formats to get that analogue goodness? wink

I always by the CD release, as you don't own downloads, you essentially lease them.

The wavs are 44.1k 24bit, CD is 44.1k 16 bit, so the wav's should be a bit better.

I made a thread about it here:

The problem with vinyl is that I'd also have to buy a record player. Haven't had one for years.

CD and mp3 download. Then in a year or so I'll look for the vinyl on amazon when it'll probably just cost the postage.
