Having a limited selection helps me think about what I picked and I actually get excited to listen to them.
I do this all the time. I select the albums I want to listen to the night before, and then play them at college.

I was going to consider getting more memory for my phone, as I can maybe download around 6 or 7 playlists at a time, but this actually just forces me to listen to what I selected, even if in the meantime I went off the idea.

I like that.

I agree with you but I think what makes that particular point a debate, is it OK to call yourself a fan of music and not buy any of it? There are artists I would say I was a fan of and yet I don't own any of their music. However, for me personally, theres a line. If I continue to get into that artist, and find myself liking their music and more, loving their music, adoring that band, I have to buy physical copies rather than continue to keep listening to the ones I stole.
