The one thing I like about streaming music from a service like Spotify is that eventually I will find music I have forgotten about or never knew existed, and it happened organically. Unfortunately , that is a one thing CDs cannot offer.
It kinda can but not as easily.
Back when I just downloaded everything under the sun on Napster/Limewire, I'd make highly curated CDs of known-hits as well as ones where I sprinkle in some random songs that were in my downloads that I'd never heard before. Not exactly the same, but I've definitely listened to a CD I made and been like "what's that song?! I love it!".
Plus, for road trips, everyone would usually burn a CD or two of their own to swap in (a precursor to "pass the aux cord") so there was some novelty/variety.
This is where the classic ipod was king. Shuffle All legitimately shuffled everything you had ever put on the ipod. Spotify algorithms fuck that right up -- shuffle Liked Songs is still automatically curated and serves up the same shit for months on end. That is not shuffle.
