I used to stream a lot in like 2014, but then I stopped. I did discover a few artists from it, but it's usefulness kinda faded, because I tend to seek out new music anyway. I guess happening upon music on my own is one of those small joys in life... remembering how it happened and stuff. It's hard to explain. I'll still buy a physical CD if I think an artist is special.

Yes. I individually pick all the songs. My most listened to playlist is the one with current music I'm feeling with no genre or tempo restriction. Other than that, I have genre lists.



>3) Do you listen to whole albums often? Mostly new or older?


Yeah. Anytime I find a song by a new artist that I like, I'll give their whole album a listen. I usually listen to new albums tho. After that, I take the songs I like most and add them to a playlist.



>4) How do you discover new music?


By living I guess lol. Youtube, Amazon, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, TV shows, movies, Shazam, etc etc. There's music everywhere if you're listening.

PC with some good speakers, car, and phone at work.
