From my understanding, vinyl records have come back because it gives a different listening experience, whether with the audio or the various tactile aspects of handling records.

I think, with music CDs and DVDs, it's more about ownership, and the fact that streaming does not offer this, and the industry keeps giving examples of where things disappear.

Not that I have any good way of getting data for these assertions. But vinyl has been trending up for years, and CDs have only just begun increasing again, for whatever that means.
