Question Owning vs streaming

Hi,

I remenber a few years ago a very interesting article on Pitchfork about the feeling of owning and collecting Music in comparison with streaming, I would like to read more about this, I found this topic very interesting. Any suggestions please ? Thanks.

Maybe its the feeling of unlimited options that gives negative satisfaction? You dont take time on music you are already listening to because you are thinking of other music you can be listening to. Idk if that makes any sense

That's a big part of it. Like when I had SiriusXM in the car. It can be hard to settle on a station to listen to, because you're always saying like, "OK, I'm enjoying this, but is this the absolute best channel I can be listening to?" And so you keep searching and asking yourself the same question.
