Vinyl VS. Digital: why?

[JSDNB]

Guys I was just wondering... I'm not in music business at all (I don't have any active release, I just buy and mix tracks that I like), but why do big labels still contribute to create a war between vinyls and digital tracks?!

I chose to go digital not only because it's cheaper, but also because if I buy vinyl they don't provide me my non-lossy track file.


Why don't they just give away "both" formats (maybe with a little discount on the digital release) if you buy vinyl?! Everyone would be happy!

Certain shops does that, at least I know about this one http://www.surus.co.uk/critical-music/home.aspx. Critical nails it as always

Nice one, cheers!

Thing is I wouldn't like to see a special thing like vinyl die just because they're a little bit more expensive than digitals...Even if I run digital atm.
