Spotify is still a thing? Shoot, I never even had one in the first place. I still buy CD's.

It's by far the market leader as music/podcast streaming service.
Can't listen to podcasts or make workout playlists with vinyl. Hell, I even listen to @puppylove_sugarsteel , @Joey , @WoolleyDoog and @DerekJohnson via Spotify.
CDs are even more archaic than vinyl these days, with the latter haven over taken the former in total sales in the US. I think I bought maybe one used Grateful Dead rate concert CD this year, and probably 50 vinyl LPs.
Can't rip vinyl onto a flash drive, though.
I have Sirius for music selection to keep me from having an algorithm tell me what I want to listen to. Helps me keep an open mind on music, to the degree that's possible. YouTube is my go-to for seeking out what the algorithm tells me to listen to / watch while working out.

The Playlist on Netflix is a pretty good mini-series on the founding and monetization of Spotify.
No tittays.

I rarely use Spotfiy algos. I'm mostly just creating my own playlists and listening to pods.
The algo has turned me onto to some really cool, deep tracks that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Yella, I’m a Spotify guy too, but a buddy of mine swears that if you are an audiophile, Apple Music is better.
Spotify definitely isn't audiophile grade. Massive compression on the tracks.
But it doesn't matter for me since 98% of my audiophile listening in vinyl on a high end 2 channel stereo set up. The other 2% is CD.
Qobuz is probably the best service for higher res digital. Everything there is Red Book CD or better digital files.
Limewire, bitches!
I use Amazon Music like a true boomer.
I got Amazon music before they fucked it up and have my own 300 song playlist that I hit mix on.
Bluetooth and a car stereo and drive on down the road
And I own the songs

My top 25 on Spotify. Working as a trivia host, I use Spotify exclusively because I can make a playlist for each show (3x nights per week).
I’m curious to know how Spotify classifies playing a song. Do you have to listen to the whole song, 75% etc because most of the songs I play for trivia don’t get played all the way to the end.

I will see the Sword at Desertfest in Camden next summer. I have seen Doc Oc twice. Seen Metallica a handful. Saw Alice in Chain as the Back to the Beginning in Birmingham before Ozzy passed on to the metal ether in the sky.
Never seen Cypress Hill. And I don't believe I have listened to them more the like twice this year. Very strange.

AJFA is the best Metallica LP!!
I use Amazon music; I got very into Oasis again since they toured even though I didn't get to see them, so ended up with 3 of their songs from an old live album in my top 5 (Acquisce, Columbia and Supersonic from the Live at Knebworth album), plus the new NIN song (As alive as you need me to be) and the Johnny Cash version of Personal Jesus. No idea why that one got my attention more than others.
