    I know so many people who are so ride-or-die for never having to manage the file space for their own music library and they don’t seem particularly less stressed.

    I think they just cannot live without an algorithm to recommend new music to them

      Oh, piss off. I just want to financially support artists for making something beautiful I enjoy. Streaming is the easiest because of space constraints. I still buy the CDs of my most favourite albums, but I cannot stress enough how great it is to NOT have to rip the MP3s every time, make sure the tags are good, etc.

      It’s convenient.

      If you don’t like Spotify’s new ID check, kill your Spotify account and use an alternative - Tidal and Qobuz are both excellent.

      An algorithm for them:

      set rand [clock microseconds]
      set len [mpc_pl_len]
      set to [expr {$rand%$len}]
      mpc_pl_jmp $to
