What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?

 I started listening to CD from the 90's, skipped the first good selling years of digital and increased my vinyl collection. Now i mostly listen to Vinyl and FM, CD/SACD comes after. So one vote for the percentage.
 Re-entering vinyl or start afresh is not happening today, has started for some time now. Same people listening to all formats, nothing wrong with that.
As for no one seems interested in analogue check AG "whats on your turntable tonight".

@bkeske my mom is 78 this year, but we are not talking about moms here, ok?


I’m talking about lazy audiophiles and 90% of the a’gon members are over 60, they are often complaining that it’s too complicated for them to flip vinyl record while they are listening to music, and “clicks and pops” are so annoying for them, so they discovered better format and this format is CD (sensational news). 


Vinyl industry did not die because of the dance music in the 90’s and it was difficult times, let’s face it too. That was music for young generation and it has nothing to do with audiophiles. 


DJs/collectors rediscovered music from the 70’s in the 90’s and spread it all over the world once again (via fm radio, clubs, on mixtapes). 


Nothing changed much, they are still doing it, and there are only young people in the recordshops in my town, audiophiles world is just parallel reality. 

However, music on high-end shows is extremely boring, same tunes. 


Streaming is just like FM radio, you can always use it, but there are vinyl world somewhere near to buy records, this is a lifestyle. 

I use Amazon HD digital in the car, and used to use it on headphones at work, but I work at home since covid and listen almost exclusively to vinyl.  I occasionally use digital to check out new music, and sometimes for background music thru the living room HT system.

I find that having to flip sides and change records keeps me from spending hours straight coding without moving from my chair.  I tend to get really focused.

Not to generalize, the younger generation seems to listen to their phones with ear buds all day and slap on the vinyl when they get home. Level of analog system does not seem to matter-vinyl just sounds more "human".

Still listen to about 1 CD a day in my nice office system.
My reaction is, "Wow, it sounds really interesting." compared to my analog rig, "Wow, I am speechless."
