I'm a fellow Luddite and proud of it, but I gotta tell you, streaming Spotify from the 'Net is a beautiful thing. It has enhanced my Luddite ways by allowing me to listen to music on Spotify and then decide if I like it enough to buy on CD/LP. It's also great for discovering new music, both by artists I never heard as well finding out about albums released by artists I like that I didn't know about. Plus if the wife wants to hear something I can play it for her. It's like I have a lot more music available for our enjoyment.Then there's the ability to just let it play when we entertain or I'm watching football. It's a great way to improve the whole audio and musical experience.
Best regards, Ralph

Paying for the extreme quality? It used to be 320K Ogg Vorbis. Pretty good for compressed audio but not as good as CDs.

Actually, my stepson gifted me a subscription to Spotify Premium. He got a family plan that allowed him to give me one account. Supposedly the best sound quality they have.
You're right. It's definitely not as good as a CD, but it is acceptable for casual listening. It's better than I expected, I can actually enjoy the tunes. As you might expect, the better the recording, the better the sound.
Best regards, Ralph
I totally agree ! --- With Spotify and my Other Streaming services, I never even listen to my 5,000+ Albums anymore. Heck, they are already on Spotify anyway, so why bother?
All my Music comes from the cloud these days. And I've got a lot of extra money for wine. :-)
