How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?

Radio Paradise, sometimes I just randomly scroll through all my albums in Roon until something catches my eye.  Check out the What's on your turntable, in your cd player, etc. threads.

For me, radio is on for my mornings, got a couple stations that I like. Mid-day is usually a couple of records, what ever moves me. For the evening, cooking dinner, or hanging out, put on a Tidal playlist. I really like Tidal's "My Mixes" or I use one of their "personal radio stations" just pick what general mood I'm in. 

Learned that playing records while cooking dinner is just a bad thing!! Don't suggest listing to vinyl when cooking. My system is vintage, so no remote anything. with my streamer (not vintage ) it has volume along with control over content. That works well when not in my music room. 

ROON algorithm is absolute king. All of my new music is discovered via ROON radio. Highly recommended and free trial available

I have a radio/streaming station that plays the music I favor and curates very well. I hear new songs I like and listen further on Quboz.

I often run into that dilemma and just put on a playlist. Sometimes that leads to listening to more from a particular artist or album. 

I check the Tidal "My Daily Discovery" often and I've been very lucky with that. It took a while for it to learn my tastes but it is worth checking.
