LISTENING TO RECORDS is listening to music following a pre-planned playlist. We listen to high-quality records played from vinyl records or high-resolution digital files—this allows us to experience the music’s unique emotional depth, appreciate the nuances of the performance, and immerse ourselves in the depths of this music.
