  It took me 10 listens to get into Jimi Hendrix. You are consuming quantity but quality requires effort.

      I don’t this works with all music.

      The first few listens I thought it was garbage. But I decided it must be me who is wrong, not everyone else.

        Or, that taste is subjective and that there is no right and wrong. You are allowed to not like something others do.

    This is making some significant assumptions, don’t you think? That I sample the buffet does not mean that I don’t also cherish and return to familiar recipes.

      I’m assuming you have a similar amount of free time as me and are not able to fit in enough listens to become familiar.

        I have no kids, no pets, and a job where I can listen to music the entirety of my shifts while working. I have music on in some capacity probably an average of 12 hours a day. 4 albums a week, when listening to them each 6 six times, is a fraction of my listening.

        Music listening is my primary “hobby” and interest.

  I pay for Apple Music (well, technically I get it as part of Apple One) for one reason: the library matching function. I have half a gig of mp3s on my home computer, many of which are not on any streaming service, and apple makes them all available to every device I own.

  For me, thats worth the monthly price.

    You can host it yourself without paying apple.

    You’d literally be paying yourself back after not much time at all.

    I like Plex amp but there are quite a few options.

  Me too. However I recognize that many people are content to listen to the same things they enjoyed in high school forever. In which case they definitely do not need streaming
