Do you subscribe to any streaming service? If you do, how do you navigate the zillions of songs you might listen to next?<p>If you don't, that would be informative too.<p>I recently got 6 months free APple music with airpods, and I'm trying to understand whether I want to keep subscribing to it. It's nice to have potential access to any song ever, and another thing to actively use it, or to know how to navigate it.<p>I'm not sure I want to stop buying individual musical works, or to stop owning my own collection. It is conceptually fabulous having an infinitely large musical access. But that's finite if I stop paying the rent on it...<p>Right now, I'm listening to Talisman, from Moon Safari by Air, from my Mac, prompted by a friend who mentioned that track on his blog. Then the CD kept going, so now I'm listening to De Matin La.<p>But if I'd dialed up Talisman on Apple music, the next song might be something else. That something else might be determined by... a trillion dollar corporation. Is that weird? Good? Or is it up to me to take this into my own hands? Or turn it all off and reconnect with silence?<p>I suppose it's neither here nor there what I do, as far as anyone else is concerned really. Just an individual choice... but if everyone is in this boat, that's kind of a different society to the one I grew up in... isn't it?<p>Or is it?
