Some vinyl comes with a download card for lossless files.

Companies need to make it clear which and I would personally pay full price. As it is I only buy on sale and the cards are a bonus.

Ripping discs sucks but it's a one time thing.

Some of the end credits on netflix are longer than the show. I would kill for auto skip in jellyfin.

Ah, I actually have bought a few music CDs a while ago, and they were actually fairly easy to rip myself. I can't complain about that at all. If ripping DVDs was that easy then I would probably enthusiastically buy a few DVD boxsets. But I don't really want to buy dedicated hardware just to read DVDs on my PC to do a cumbersome ripping process, and also probably lug that hardware (or the entire PC) to my TV now and then to watch a movie.

I've been interested in vinyl for a while, does it really sound better?

Vinyl is just a way to be intentional about listening and actually owning your media.

The dirty secret about vinyl is that everything since the 80s was recorded digitally anyway. a CD will always have better audio fidelity and record collectors hate this fact.

also if you don't have a legacy record collection it's probably not worth any nostalgia points so I'd stay away from it honestly
