Music Banter - View Single Post - The Faustian Pursuit of Music Acquisition

Well the burden is inherent: the time you spend acquiring those albums could be better applied to enjoying them or any other ancillary activity. If you spend less time searching for music than listening to it, this situation can precipitate itself simply by a measure of accessibility; if music took as long to find as it did to listen to, then your consumptive rate is going to be much more limited.

It may sound shitty to say it, but I think the digital age equipped consumers with the tools necessary to transform the music collector into the music miser.
