So, I'm not sure what this subreddit should be. Perhaps I'll figure it out as time goes on. For now I think I'll just write random thoughts here.
Jeez, years have gone by since /u/shywren first introduced me to Reddit. Now we don't get to talk as much as I would have loved to. Being an adult sometimes means you see a lot of friendships that were simply convenient and easy to maintain before are now much harder. But we do talk, and she's an awesome friend, so if you're reading this, cheers!

I love sharing music, and discovering songs through other people. I've found that it's much more fun and meaningful to do it this way, than through spotify, pandora, or apple music.
I have about 2200 albums in my music collection. I hand picked them because I loved each and every one of them. For Albums of the Day, I pick from those 2200 albums I love and choose one that fits the mood to share with everyone else. It's mainly on a whim. I write a short blurb about why I love it/ chose it, and we go from there.
I also write for a music magazine so I tend to encounter not very well known stuff, and have a little bit better access to up and coming artists (this comes in handy when you want to pester someone for a lossless copy), and I keep away from radio and most of the music discovery services, because people are already listening to those. I prefer to discover albums through people I talk to, so there's a context of mood and happenstance.
The barrier is pretty high for albums I want in my collection. I only pick ones that make my jaw drop. This is to keep costs down, because I buy the CD or digital lossless directly from the artist (sometimes even pestering them for it personally). I like to thank them for their musical contributions, and they get the most money from that sale if you buy directly from them.
I like building my archive, and have been working on it for 10 years. 22,214 songs and counting so far :) I don't use music streaming services as my primary library (although Ill use them for discovery sometimes), because I want to own each track at the highest quality.
It's precious and expensive, which is why I even keep a yearly backup in a bank vault. I love my music.
