Music Format Tier List | The 100 Year Format War

This video contains the history of the most mainstream pre-recorded audio formats used over the decades and I condensed it into a tier list. Is the vinyl record better than CD? Are CDs better than streaming? Why did more modern physical formats like SACD and DVD Audio fail? Does vinyl sounds better? I answers these questions, among others, and rank the most popular formats used over the last century. This is a celebration of the different technologies used over a century to listen to music. I also do my best to explain each format's strengths and shortcomings. These days, we have access to millions of songs and sometimes we can take that for granted. I feel that looking back grounds me and gives me a different perspective.
