A lot of people with turntables have really nice systems. They sometimes have multiple copies of their albums in multiple formats. I do this, and I know lots of other people that do too.
I have vinyl albums that I play at special times. I also maintain a collection of Bluray music that is very high-quality too. Some people favor high-res lossless digital formats like FLAC.
I also have a cassette copy of most of my favorite albums that I play in my older classic cars. And I have a CD for casual listening or in one of my more modern cars. I also have a USB flash drive with a ton of albums on it, mostly for convenience and for cars that have no CD player.
Used to be I had lots of music on reel-to-reel tapes too, and I developed an interface to a microcomputer I had. My computer kept track of the music and indexes of each song, so I could create playlists for the computer to fast-forward or rewind to any track. But I've stopped doing that 'cause there are better ways of creating playlists now.
So I find that there are good uses for most music formats, some that favor quality and some that favor convenience. Some are a little of both.
