I've been collecting vinyl records for over a decade, and I still can't decide if streaming services like Spotify have been a net positive for how we experience music. On one hand, the convenience is undeniable—millions of tracks at your fingertips, and I've discovered artists I'd never have stumbled upon in a record store. But there's something about the ritual of pulling out a record, dropping the needle, and listening to an entire album without skipping that streaming just can't replicate. I'm also worried about what the data on listening habits means for emerging musicians, since playlists often reward catchy hooks over deeper compositions. So, do you think the trade-off is worth it, or are we losing more than we gain?
