well i said i wasn't sure, those are just some i've heard
the sound quality one is though, i actually looked it up, they burn the final mastered files directly into the cd, they are top quality audio files, a vinyl however is limited to the quality it can maintain because it physically has to store the music also if my researched explanation doesn't help lucifer sam will answer to you, the breaking easier thing i'm not sure about either, someone should clarify that

As far as I can tell lucifer sam agrees with me. I'm no technical expert but my understanding has always been that CDs have a more limited tonal range than vinyl.

Okay, I'll clarify it: they don't break easier. I would say it's just about as easy to damage a CD as it is to damage a record.
