Personally, there's something more ritual to listening to music on a record compared to any digital medium. I'm not gonna jerk off about analog better or whatever, but to listen to a record you need a record player and possibly a speaker, you need to physically place that record in the player, and you listen to the record in the order the music was put down on it. It's a different form of consumption than putting on a Spotify playlist on the bus.
