We all use streaming differently. I mostly select the albums I want to hear. No playlists. Not looking to be directed to other albums.
The streaming revolution.
If you had told me in my early days of listening that one day I would have easy access to virtually the entire recorded music output of mankind mostly in glorious sound and at a cost of pennies per day, I would have thought you a wild futurist.
This revolution has come with it a predicament of delirious proportion. What to listen to? Even If you limit yourself to one musical genre, the choices seem endless. It indeed is like a kid in a candy shop for a music lover.
I’m not complaining. I’m just in awe!

Streaming is convenient and the ability it gives you to discover new music is amazing. |
@devinplombier “To me streaming is another conduit for music, with its own set of pluses and minuses - nothing more and nothing less.” Absolutely. I use Vinyl, Qobuz and a local library of rips, downloads, etc. They each have advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn’t be without any of them.

Agree for me the big change started with the iPod. I was able to bring all my music with me anywhere without having to make a mixtape or fill a portable CD holder with my favorite discs. Streaming takes it to the next level playing almost any song on almost any device. Love when my kids or grandkids ask for a song they like and I a play it at home, in the car or on the boat. It helps us connect through music which is a joy. |
I have not been streaming that long, since about 2021. Since then the conduit has been a fast and furious upgrade path leaving behind the vinyl system I sold. I love it. I have a nice CD playback system from the early 200's I kept. I hardly ever use it. My streaming system is as good as I can affordably make it as I am retired and now have more limited funds. (See my Virtual system) To me the learning has been fun and I love the convenience. |
