I stream. I know I’m losing quality but I use Spotify connect straight to my receiver. I like streaming because I find it’s a good value for my money. I listen to at least half a dozen new artists (new to me at least) each month and it allows me to be adventurous with my taste while not having to waste money on CDs that I only want for a few songs. I’ve never had any issues with losing access to artists with the exception of Neil Young.

This has been VERY helpful. Thank you.
