Uh oh, that is the one thing that is always open to debate. I have both, and at times I buy older LPs and burn the stuff I want off them to cds. They are way more convinient than lps, and you sure can search faster, especially when you insert them into a multi disk cd player. As for the sound quality, i have heard all that warmer and lifelike sound on lp stuff, and i don't see it. I have a high end system with 72" tall VPMS Super Towers, + 2 JBL 100s on the other side of the room, with an SAE Preamp and 2 CE Crown amps for over 1000 watts of power. I use a Pioneer table with straight arm and have different cartridges from Stanton and Shure etc.. I use a Sony 400 disk cd changer, and a Sony W500 cd burner in my system. I really can't say I notice a difference, unless the cd I bought was poorly made by the company. But I can say the same for records, the early Lightfoot lps on UA weren't so great for quality either. Anyhow, unless you listen with high end earphones, other noise can be distracting to the music also. Yes, so lps are making a comeback, to a slight degree, but I don't expect it will ever be anything big, and the next media for music should be a chip type thing where you just slip a wafer into a player and there is your album. No moving parts is the final answer.
