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

The Agon forums are a good place to start. For example, I listen to Jazz, so I go to the Jazz For Aficionados forum.  There are several people there who are fonts of information. 
 

What’s your pleasure??

Wonderful suggestions.  I like roon radio and have a lifetime membership. I should give it more of a chance to inspire me.  

That's a lot of music you listen to.  How much of you listen to is new versus old.  Must be very deep reservoir. I would imagine you revisit the deep areas quite a bit since it probably relates to the 60s 70s which is where most of the value is. 

I do recall there are actual Radio stations available via roon, classical stuff comes to mind, that are surprisingly good..  Actual radio stations still exist out there and a lot of from foreign countries and the quality is very very good.

of the 300 or so albums I have in my library on roon, and so many are classics from the past.  They are amazing listening but I do acknowledge and admit that I'm tiring of some of the stuff as good as it is and was.  That's OK I think.  It's hard to admit that to myself at times it feels a bit like sacrilege.  

@emergingsoul I listen to about 25% new and the rest oldies. I tend to go by genre or time period. I go on benders where I may listen to soul music from the early 70's or alternative from the 90's. Heavy Metal has also made a surprising comeback and that is usually 70's and 80's.  I also listen to a lot of music out of Africa.

In my lifetime there has never been a better time to listen to music I am so lucky that I have great gear to listen, but even if I did not, the amount of music available is incredible.

I take note of posts like this and songs that reviewers note on YouTube.  I then search them on Qobuz and listen.  If I like it I note it as a favorite.  That builds the favorites list I play later on Qobuz.
