vinyl junkie
Obsessive album collector
A vinyl junkie is someone obsessively devoted to collecting and playing vinyl records.
The term emerged as digital formats displaced analog, marking collectors who prize the physical ritual and audio quality of LPs: He's a total vinyl junkie—spends every weekend digging through crates at record shops.
The phrase carries affection rather than judgment, unlike harder uses of "junkie."
