Your experience with streaming is unrecognizeable to me.


eddie's experience is what you get when you are not willing to pay for the service. The services that offer a "free" version will let you hear one song that you want and then they supply the rest of the songs in your "playlist" (from "similar" artists that they are pushing).

Of course, when you stopped listening to new music 40 years ago (or ANY music for that matter - by his own admission), why WOULD you pay for a streaming service?


Like Mark and J&B, I pay for Apple Music. Until I made that decision, I was still buying CDs that I heard and liked (when I could find them to listen to). That amounted to about the same amount of money in a year that I now pay for the service. The difference is I can now hear ANYTHING I want. And I listen to almost EVERY new release that hits the Country genre. The ones that I like, I add to my Library and will listen to again - sometimes as the whole album again, but more often as a shuffled playlist of all the records in my Library. It's GOOD music.
