A way to listen to a large collection


I’ve discovered a great way to deal with an intimidatingly large collection of CDs and records.
 It would take much longer time than I have on this earth to go through them all, so I’ve found a way to really enjoy the variety.
What I do is, without looking, just reach blindly for a disc on the wall and, no matter what it is, play it through in its entirety.
 It’s amazing how enjoyable this is.  Things which I would not ordinarily choose become currently viable.  After all, I bought them for a reason. There’s no reason I shouldn’t like them!
I found that when I conciously pick a selection, I’m very choosy, considering the sound quality far too often.  This way, it’s like getting a new present all the time.
Re-discovering wonderful performances I’d forgotten about (and, coincidentally, enjoying the sound quality for what it is, more than I would have if I had been searching for good sonics.)
I highly recommend this procedure!

troutchoker,
Funny you should post this now.
 I just,within the last hour, downloaded Tidal.

there is however something very special about pulling out an album, cueing it and listening to it - something completely lost to most folks streaming or listening via “computer” my experience with this is that most don’t even listen to a complete song let alone a complete album.

With out any exceptions all my LP clients listen to complete albums - most but not all computer based ones do highlights.

Please folks - comment on this phenomenon

Good Listening

As I just remarked on another thread, the SQ, at least on my set, is slightly better with the CD than with Tidal. Perhaps more musical ( I know that’s an amorphous term.)  
 I agree, also, that there is something “very special about pulling out an album.”

I rip all cds and convert my records to digital and stream tracks or whole releases randomly. I spend most of my listening time that way. It’s like having your own personally programmed  radio station plus no commercials.
