Is streaming or having your own music library better? (lemmy.world)

I'm in a dilemma, I think ownership of media is important, but the convenience of Spotify and the algorithm of new music that it suggests has helped me find amazing artists that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise.

Fellow sailors, what are your thoughts, and how do you personally listen to music?

It's up to you where you draw the line. It's "all or something" not, "all or nothing." You could use Spotify to find great music, then turn it into your private collection lol.

Make sure to donate or otherwise support them if they are small time artists :)

There are free resources online that can give you music suggestions, you can use that to find new music and source it yourself.

Discog is one of my favorite sites. You can buy second hand physical media for millions of different artists, even some pretty obscure and underground groups. I've been growing my physical media library using them and it's been great so far. Good for collecting rare vinyls and CDs.
