How many of you streaming?

I enjoy being able to listen to full albums.  I have a few dozen I like to listen to.  There are lots of songs that the rest of the album is not worth listening to.  these end up on playlists.  

There are very few albums that I find myself listening in its entirety. And this has nothing to do streaming….what I do love about streaming is our ability to create playlists. I have over 60 playlists that are ranging from 45 min to 6.5 hours.

I stream Qobuz. I virtually always listen to whole albums. 
 

I have streamed on my main system for twelve years or so. I was always hopping around. The reason was my streaming (and CD) leg was not musical and fulfilling. I worked over the last five years to bring my digital leg up to the quality of my analog. Now… I just can’t get myself to change to another album until I finish it. I listen to stuff I never thought I would like. Completely glued.

If you’re surfing, it is probably because your digital system is not engaging / musical. Work on that leg required.

Depends on the album.

To be honest, if I am trying to gauge what a new artist is like I will listen to the first song and see if it grabs me. If it does, I will finish listening to it. If it doesn't I will still skip through a few other songs just to see if they are any better.

I can get bored easy, especially if the music lacks dynamics and thoughtful lyrics.

I probably listen to 15 seconds of 100's of songs over several hours. If they don't interest me in that short of time, I go to the next one. Most all new music doesn't get saved or listened to again. I usually go back to what I'm familiar with.
