Well if that floats your boat Mr Carroll, then fine but

1. Collecting and classifying can be enjoyable. Hearing music can too. Not the same thing though. If I wish to share the enjoyment of McColl's FirstmTie Ever I Saw Your Face with someone who had never heard it, would I find a flat toned old bloke in a pub to recite it or play the rather wonderful Sterephonics version... Mmmm. Lets see.

2. Pretending not to understand isn't clever, neither is calling someone a troll on the basis you put yourself up as an authority. Authorities in music are technicians, authorities in enjoyment of music are happy people. Beecham once said that the English don't appreciate music but they love the noise it makes.

3. Other than singing in the bath, you are entertaining others, or they are humouring you. The oral tradition is fine but became a quirky old style once Caxton got his press going. Nothing wrong with that, but other than idiots such as yourself, people see the oral tradition as an ornament, a bloody nice one, granted, but other media store the human experience of songs and has done for hundreds of years. So sharing is actually entertaining after all.

Music is for the entertainment of people. First, second and so forth. Sharing songs is performing them, you know that and your comments to the contrary do you no justice.

By the way, you can be the most obnoxious troll on this forum at times.
