> Do you already own all of the music you are going to listen to for your life?

Probably not, but given that I spent until the end of the CD age to collect music I do have enough to last me for several lifetimes. I'm a bit strange in that I will listen to music over and over again until I have it internalized, and even after that. I don't need something new every day.



I don't need something new every day

Neither do I, but I'm also not going to spend decades - or even years - listening to the same thing week after week. Not to mention that my music tastes are much more varied than they were years ago.


That's fine, not everybody is the same in this respect. I can drive people absolutely nuts by listening to the same piece a few hundred times in a row.

Recently: Miriam Stockley, Perfect day (1999, sorry).


> That's fine, not everybody is the same in this respect.

Which is incongruent with:

> the quality has absolutely cratered

You have no measure of music quality and everyone's views on quality are different, e.g. "not everybody is same in this respect".


That's a good song, it has some interesting harmonic similarities to Howard Blakes walking in the air.
