I think there are pros and cons to every media. I own every kind on that poll.

Vinyl is excellent for sitting around at home and listening to with headphones. It sounds better, and I think the whole experience of allowing the album to be broken up with sort of an intermission gives the listener the feeling of allowing themselves a break before going back on the trip.

Cds are really good for road trips and driving around. They're cool for walking and portability too. They have good sound quality too, sometimes. Sometimes it can just sound like shit though.

Tapes are cool for just having around and making mixes, and then after you play them for a while you get that same warm sound of having the tape being played OVER AND OVER again right before you have to dub another copy.

I own an mp3 player, and it's cool for road trips or walks, or when I'm working at my job and I can listen to Neutral Milk Hotel, Blackalicious, My Bloody Valentine, Wilco and Interpol all in the same day. It's awesome for portability. It made the three-ring-binder full of CDs I use that use to take up a backpack fit in the palm of my hand.

They all have their pros and cons. As it can be used to play good music at a good sound quality, I have no problems with it.
