I just dropped my cartridge needle down onto my vinyl record or put my CD into my CD player and hit play and I get great music and nothing to worry about
hey grandpa.. check the date on your flip phone, it is 2020
I have discovered such a tremendous amount of new to me music and new artists since going with Roon, Tidal, and Qobuz that I can’t imagine being locked into the extremely limited number of choices my personal collection allows, and that is in the thousands, I hear amazing things every day that I never knew existed. For less than the equivalent of what I paid for a single CD a month in 1985 I have access to literally millions of songs every day in CD or better quality... MILLIONS !!!!
when I read about an album in a magazine or the web, chances are it is instantly available to me. When I hear an artist I like chances are I have instant access to their entire catalog along with recommendations for those that are similar. It is the golden age for music lovers that are willing to "worry about" how to connect their server to their DAC.
I feel sorry for you if you are limited to physical media listening to the same stuff over and over and over.
