Hi folks, first post. Just wanted to kick off a potential discussion, I don't use streaming at all due to poor artist rates and the behaviour of certain CEO's

At the moment, I'm at a sizeable vinyl collection around sixty and growing, mainly European Hard Rock/Metal, however I do have the odd HipHop type album too (Young Fathers)

I'm the type of guy who will buy an album based off the cover, which has introduced me to lots of cool stuff, but I was just wondering as I'm getting older, how are people finding new music in 2025?

We mostly buy digital albums we want on Bandcamp friday. There's also a small vinyl collection but we don't prioritize growing it, since Vinyls are pretty bad for the environment and ripping them is annoying.

Unfortunately we don't have a lot of CDs.
