Nothing gave me more joy than searching through old record exchanges for an obsure oldie that I used to love. The excitement on finding one of those favourite 45's is something younger listeners will never experience.

I find Spotify is a dilemma - a ying/yang thing. I suppose cusp of the matter is whether you are a professional musician or a semi-pro/amateur. I can see how professional artists/musicians (especially royalty dependants) regard Spotify as a mugger of music while lay singer/songwriters, etc. are likely to see it as a quick & easy fast-track to the global market.(The latter's objective being non-monetary having the luxury of another source of income/sustenance).
