Vinyl is just more cumbersome to make and ship and store, there's no way the price goes down. As someone who only likes vinyl for the art size I'd almost wish CD longboxes or something similar would come back.

Most (all?) new vinyls these days were originally digital files anyways. I like the big album covers though, and the ritual of turning them over in the middle.

		I like vinyl (any physical media, i still listen to new bands that only release on cassette) because it is cumbersome and purposeful. You have to flip through a collection and make a conscious decision on what to listen to. You don’t get to just skip skip skip so you tend to pay attention and listen to the full album. I get the convenience of streaming and love it when I’m on the go or need background music, but it is a totally different experience.
