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.

@ghdprentice Based upon your system and postings I. am not surprised that you would maximize your streaming experience.

If you have a 1,000+ CD/vinyl/tape collection and it's not one of the best collections of music you've ever heard, in your humble opinion.  Then is getting potential access to 100 million song sreally going to help you?

Yes, because there is so much more than 1,000 albums with great music and sound out there that you can sample without having to spend $20 to $50 for the privilege.  Too much great music to ignore.

Streaming provides inexpensive access to a vast quantity of music, but how much music can you actually listen to?  Realistically, how many hours of music can you not access, not sample, but actually listen to in a day?  Do you really think you're listening to more than a 1,000 CDs worth of music in a year?

It's s a question of inward looking vs outward looking. Once you get the skills to navigate a nearly infinite catalog you can be discovering fantastic music you have never heard constantly. For whatever time you have.

No,  I can listen to a lot of music that I would never hear if I didn’t have a streaming subscription, though.  Qobuz provides a number of ways that you can find music you may like, suggestions, radio, playlists, etc.

I enjoy finding new music sometimes.  Other people may not be that interested in finding music outside their normal listening parameters.  Either way is OK. There's no wrong way to choose what you want to listen to.
