I clicked "other" as I want CD or high-quality digital file NOT MP3!!

All of the above in addition to enough vinyl for the DJ's and collectors. Despite not being a Dubstep DJ I am now buying the vinyl because

a) its easier to grab the promos from blackmarket or boomkat and then rip my own high quaility WAV

b) I have to wait ages, or not get at all, the mp3 and the quality is poor

c) damn there was a "c)" but I just took a toke...

d) the single is unlikely to appear on CD format (wait maybe that was "C" after all....)

Vinyl all the way for me. I just love it, the feel, the artwork, the smell, having to have a bigger flat to store it all.. Never liked dj'ing with cd's or mp3.

However, if the music was available in lossless digital formats, I'm sure sales would increase for all the serato lovin' peeps. I'm a dj and an iPod user myself, but as there's such a wide range of fresh mixes available for download all the time, I don't see a use for mp3 downloads for listening on the go... Thanks boomnoise & deapoh!

As I don't have decks I have to say MP3, but then again mp3 only would not be the best situation for the scene, so the best solution is mp3 and vinyl. Though maybe without a delay on the releases of mp3s.

I believe things should be released on every medium possible-
Vinyl, CD, High quality MP3's ,Wavs, Flac
etc... ad infinitum. However, I want my favorite artists
to make money so whatever is most cost effective for them without sacrificing sound quality on the consumer end..

I personally love vinyl though. Especially 10"s- easy to carry and easy to handle.

i love vinyl records. to me it's an integral part of mixing music. i'm not a snob about it, don't give a fuck what formats others use.
i'm too lazy to learn how to use cd decks anyway.

Damn I have to agree. I love vinyls myself but with Serato Scratch I don't mind mp3s. Of coruse if I am able to buy a vinyl version I will definately go for that.

You took the words right outta my mouth there, Deap

Man I wouldn't mind switching to Serrato Scratch to avoid hassling around with tons of records...

I voted other because I'd rather have a lossless format like flac or wav over MP3. If something is truly amazing and I can't get it in any digital format though I'll buy the vinyl.
