So…Much…Music!


I added my first streamer to my system about 8 months ago. This is not about the unit I bought. But rather the discovery of a world of new to me music. There is soooooo much that I had never heard!  
My CD collection is just over 2,000 titles. Yes there are many dogs in there. But it mostly titles I like. But when I got the streamer, oh boy. So much more to discover!  
I still listen to CD’s every day. In fact I bought a new player a couple months ago. But I am so happy with all the new to me music I’m finding via streaming. Love it!!  
Anyway, thanks for listening to me.

Its gonna take me a year to work through all those names on my set. Thank you!! Great stuff. And as you point out, AI will be doing some of my "work" for me.

You hit the nail on the head. I do the same with Roon and Tidal. It’s an endless Rabbit hole that I thoroughly enjoy exploring. The threads and connections are fascinating to me. I also get good AI-based suggestions through Apple Music, although I can’t directly access them with my streamer, I still take notes from my phone and incorporate them into my Roon database. Great post!!!

yep, getting a quality streamer with a high quality streaming service is a game changer, and beats any other possible upgrade you can do to your stereo system.  The music you discover and appreciate changes everything.  I still listen to my records, CDs, & SACDs, but, my qobuz playlists are my go to music now.

...and another good example.. 

Ever read a review of some piece of audio equipment or speakers and the reviewer goes on and on, waxing poetic about how the equipment turned some often shrill vocalist(on lesser systems/equipment) into sublimly beautiful music?  Of course the track they're discussing is by some obscure artist or recording.. And you have to wonder..how would my system perform with such a track? 

Or the reviewer gushes and gurgles on and on with the beauty of some challenging track and the trial system bringing out more detail, lushness, and musicality than has ever been heard before by so flawed a human being!  And you lament..geez,.I wish I could hear that music!

Well folks..not only can you live in that lime-light too, you can do it for FREE!..just spin up your Ronco Streamer and play that music for all it's worth..twice, if you have a mind to, raise your hands and yell Halleluiah!, for I am livin-large!

I stream, therefore I am!
