You consume in a slower manner.

You use an example of your ability to stream a thousand tracks in a single day if you wanted to, I don't have the same aspirations, so I'd also not pay thousands of dollars up from to kick start it.

To answer your question of how do I curate a library, legally, is just over time. I have a lot of musicians I like, and when I find them, I purchase their music, and I listen to it.

I do it less than a thousand times a day however. But I've been at it for thousands of days.

I guess I can just start buying their albums today, slowly, but I often found it difficult to even find a vendor of their stuff online.

Thanks for the response.

Have your tried Bandcamp, Qobuz, Boomkat, Bleep and others?

Personally I buy and find all my music in lossless digital formats. Any release I want to have. Interestingly you may have a harder time finding very popular mainstream music in a lossless format.

I haven't. I'll check them out now :-)

Oh I don't care about those things, actually. It's more availability and cost.
