Spotify / Youtube

Buy vinyl / digital download via Bandcamp / direct from artist for outstanding albums.

Considering cutting off Spotify very soon and going back to self-managed FLAC / MP3 collection. Spotify is super convenient, but I find it only works well if I use it for a specific mode / genre / vibe (mine is ambient / jazz / electronic with some classical). If I go broader to my other music tastes (say, a Faith No More binge) then the suggestion algo becomes bi-polar and is the worst virtual DJ ever.

Because I keep my use of Spotify to a niche genre, it is stuck suggesting the same songs and artists over and over. So it has served its purpose. Time to cut it off.
