Balancing time for music: Discovery/acquisition vs. listening


I have limited time to devote to my music/audio hobby.  I love listening to music on my server whenever I get a chance (and this is listening as a destination activity).  But I am also aware there is an incredible amount of music out there to be discovered.  Liking many different genres only expands the music I want to discover.  So, I have to decide how best to use my time:  Listening, or discovery/acquisition.  I discover music largely via internet radio (nearly infinite choices).  I acquire it through a variety of means, from recording music from various sources to buying CDs on line or visiting record shows.  But every minute spent adding music to my collection is a minute spent not listening to music on my system.  What to do?  What do you do?  I know many will suggest Tidal as a way to eliminate the acquisition phase, but I am reluctant to pay a monthly fee, and I have been able to stump Tidal when I have had access to it (stump it, meaning I was able to find music not offered on Tidal - mostly obscure stuff, but, there you go).  I'd appreciate any input you can give me on how you handle this dilemma.  TIA!

Download Shazam app onto your smartphone with a shortcut on your homepage. 
Listen to WFUV out of Forham or drive south on the GSP and pickup WXPN 88.5 out of U of PA. tap shazam when you hear something you like, and it will find the song and store it for you in your phone so you can investigate when you aren't driving. Cheers,

Thanks, Spencer.  I might try that, although I still would prefer to listen to my own music in the car.  Internet radio is ideal backround at home while checking emails.  Easy to have a pen & paper nearby, and my Squeezebox Touch usually displays artist & title.  If not, I have Midomi open in a window on my laptop.

NPR is liberal (in the worst way) at least they come off pretty good on music. XM/Sirius is outstanding for discovering new music. Keep me posted as you find other avenues on your Musical journey.

Happy Listening!
