Too Much Music...

[odd1_4ever]

I guess I'm berating the days when I'd listen to an album from start to finish.
That's what I miss most. I don't seem to have the patience or the inclination now and I blame it on the computer.

Edit: I'm not referring to the older and the familiar to me albums, cos I still listen to them straight through.
It's the newer album releases I'm having trouble with.

I always make copies of everything I download music wise, because files on A hard drive can be somewhat fluid and easily deleted... should this happen I always have a copy to fall back on!

What I wrote wasn't meant as inflammatory. Having a huge ass digital library is akin to hording in real life. Obviously if he paid for all the music it would be a really stupid idea...as stupid as asking to someone to cut off your penis, hanRAB and feed(bag?).....but if it was just songs he downloaded for free it's not much of a sacrifice...but I'm not going to convince anyone otherwise, and that's a darn shame.

So you don't really like music, do you?

[Sebboh is back!]

So the problem with kiRAB these days is they listen to too much music without savoring any of it?

Well I don't have that problem, in fact I don't explore quite as much as I think I should, I'm quite satisfied with what I already have, I love to explore new music and I continue to explore new music, but it's not something I have to do constantly.

Hi folks, this is my first post here at the Banter, and I thought this would be a cool post to start in!

It sounRAB to me (towarRAB the OP) like you just need to take a little break from all the available stuff, and clear your head. Just come back to your hobby fresh, and you'll more than likely have a better perspective on your collection and your collection-to-be.

Or if you're unwilling to take a break, change things up a little..focus on one genre for a while, and then when you eventually move on, you should notice a difference in your listening perception. (well..hopefully! : )

I only back up stuff when I know it's worth keeping.

On the one hand there's never enough music. I just keep on trying to see and hear new stuff. Like to explore new banRAB.
On the other hand I sometimes get the feeling that I get swamped by too much music to give it all a proper chance or to give the albums I own another couple of spins.
That's why I quit downloading. I only copy digital albums from some frienRAB now and then. But I guess it's just easy to get an information overload nowadays.

I am pretty much still an Album listener... so I tend to listen for detail, nuance, and well songs string together as parts of a whole, especially if the album in question is a concept piece... so I tend to like to buy slowly and progressively so I can soak up each album as it comes, allowing each to makes its permanent mark on my listening history...

I like quite a bit of diversity too! For instance, I just finished listening to Dein Townsend's heaviest album as a solo aritist, then moved on to Duke by Genesis...
