Users with personal music libraries, how do you decide what to download? - eviltoast

I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.

My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?

Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?

    How do you decide what to listen to? I assume you don’t listen to multiple entire discographies

      Random works pretty well, but PlexAmp has a lot of ways to curate playlists, and that’s what I’ve been using for my local collection.

      I actually listen to music on Twitch a lot. I follow a handful of streamers who play music I like, and are always playing stuff that is new to me, and kindly list track IDs on the video feed.

      I hear a song I like by an artist I am unfamiliar with and then guess what…? Entire discography.
