The first one, you insert your own personal private internet radio streams by inserting their addresses. The second one, I never tried so I'm not sure, but I saw iTunes recently added a Radio button. Does anyone know if that button has preset stations or does it just ask you to insert a radio address?

If you're not an Apple Music subscriber you have Beats 1 (different programs with DJs like traditional radio) and a handful of others such as news stations. For subscribers there are on demand curated shows as well as the other types of stations typical of any subscription or ad based service (based on a genre or a track).

Then how do you discover music that you want?

Streaming is not to get it, it is to discover it.

Also, YouTube is the largest pirating company of music, because the videos can be saved to desktops as mp3 files. They don't want anyone to know that though, because then YouTube would be shut down.

You are just a dinosaur, no one downloads music anymore to just take up space on their hard drive then go through the trouble of deleting it to make more space later on.

I haven't deleted anything in years. Hard drives are pretty big lately, haven't you noticed?

You are just a dinosaur if you're still worrying about deleting things.

But you can download things through Spotify and Apple Music. It's like, best of both worlds.

I know you of all people aren't talking. Don't you organize everything? Do you randomly leave music on your HD that you don't even like or know you won't listen to? :nono:

I always ended up deleting things even if it wasn't a space concern. I rather just stream things and try them out there without having to download. Streaming is far more convenient.

I do very little "randomly." Yes - I meticulously organize my HDDs. And just because I have more media than I could consume in the remainder of my lifetime doesn't stop me from persuing more great music.

Archivists are completists by their very nature. And as I've demonstrated, storage space is a non-issue even for maniacs like myself.
