It does make sense when I think about it, since the concept of a “record” is no longer tied to a specific medium. And some DJ decks are now fully digital, so “turntable” is also decoupled from the medium.
I also appreciate that the Kids are buying physical media again, and recognize it as an artform in its own right. And keeping that physical media pristine by still mostly listening to music via streaming and giving their favorite artists more streaming revenue is pretty savvy.

@KydiaMusic I still have all my old cd's, in case they come back in the same way in a few years' time. LOL Although I didn't keep the cases/covers.

@KydiaMusic I would even argue that Vinyl is far more Merchandise and a way to (financially) support the Artist than "the intended way to listen to the music". Thus, it makes total sense to buy a record without having a way to play it ^^
