this morning there are 27 new titles on Quboz Grand Selection.....from classical, to blues, to pop, to jazz, to rap.
and artist information, track attribution and cover examples, and related links to hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of albums of related music. and a question tab at the ready. and the web ready at hand for any related thing. it's trivial (cheap-cheap) to have streaming and a dac to play high rez versions if you already have a system. $20-$30 a month depending on the subscription if you are already able to post here.
not to mention on the spot playlists, or saved playlists for all sorts of reasons.
how can one not want this?
28 years ago now my kids were off to college and i jumped headlong into the high end. maybe the biggest single factor of learning for me was reading the backs of Lp's, even better the CD booklets (which had much more info in them), and learning about artists, and hifi magazines music reviews. as a 60's Rock n' Roll guy, it quickly expanded my musical landscape and allowed me to learn jazz, blues, and eventually classical. now i'm 70% classical. it was a great amount of effort expended. streaming is a much much better.....easier.......process.
i realize some pass on streaming, but it seems fundamental to the hobby to my views. YMMV.
