Which music format do you prefer?
Added 2017-09-13 16:23:30 +0000 UTCSo, Anders Jensen and I were discussing the other day about bringing out new albums. I have offered my album on CD, whereas he has been offering his on Cassette. We also talked about vinyl.
Interestingly enough, CDs are actually cheaper if buying by the hundreds, where less than a hundred and cassettes seem to win out. Vinyl is very expensive, and from what I could tell would probably raise the cost per unit by $5 or $6 compared to a CD or Cassette.
But the real question is, what do people prefer? And keeping in mind, that a digital-download is always going to be included with any sale, so the media is there just so you have some physical thing to sit on a shelf, or whatever. So, vote in the poll and tell us which media format you would chose if you were in the market for a new album on physical media. Assume prices would be roughly in this range:
$18 - Vinyl Record
$13 - Cassette
$12 - CD
I appreciate the feedback. There is no imminent product launch, it is just to help decide on future endeavors.
