IF I solely rely on Spotify et al for providing access to the music I want to listen to, then, would a world in which those corporation not exist happen to come, I would find myself without access to the music I desire to listen to; I couldn't let that occur, so these artefacts act as insurance.julien demoulinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447890800736097885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505022452508665567.post-3295260295166810952019-01-21T16:31:04.442-08:002019-01-21T16:31:04.442-08:00good point

They often leave the crap ones behind, just to rub it in.<br /><br />I think one reason for resisting a clear-out is that you would be confirming the previous years of non-play as a complete waste of time. Whereas if you can hold out 'til some mythical point in the future when you *do* play them (or pass them on to grateful offspring, ho ho!), your holding on will have been vindicated.Bollopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370552901325861855noreply@blogger.com
