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?

I was the weird holdout still using Pandora. Their radio option always seemed to work better for me than other streaming services. Thanks to this post I learned they are worse than Spotify for artists, though, so I am trying Qobuz literally starting today. So far, so good. Don't feel like any artists are missing, the quality is really good, and they pay the most of the streaming services.
