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've been on Tidal for a year or so now, as a slightly more ethical alternative to Spotify. I've been meaning to work on acquiring albums via Bandcamp or otherwise and storing them on my Jellyfin server - there's some really good stuff that just isn't on Tidal cause the artist isn't big enough. But I really value having a music streaming service for discovery.
