why do they do this? quality over quantity

[Bentley Diaz]

In the past due to work and school I was only able to search for new music probably once every one or two months. So I would download a ton and over the next month or so listen to it, keeping what I liked.

I've never physically bought music I don't listen to, though. The closest are some library music records I have but I still pull those out from time to time.

any authentic Muzak?

[William Murphy]

that's not what i'm saying. What i'm saying is, if you already have heard it and probably won't ever listen again, why keep it?

[Adrian Moore]

i can't predict what i'll want to listen to in the future. if i like something I'm sure as shit not going to listen once and delete it.

[Cooper Ward]

This. Sometimes what you want to hear later is not available later so you get it now, while you can. I brought eight used CDs today, and have listened to none so far, but will almost certainly listen to them several times over the next year, whereas if I hadn't picked them up I wouldn't have them (how often do you find a Future Sound of London disc in a US charity shop for $1, after all).

Storage is cheap m8. Don't be retarded.

[Logan Ward]

but why keep it if you don't like it or don't listen to it? i guess being a minimalist just makes me see everything this way

[Benjamin Hernandez]

I used to do this so much holy shit
