> The foraging made it a hobby and intellectually stimulating

Funny, I get a far superior foraging experience exploring radio stations based on obscure artists and other people's playlists.

I don't understand how the friction of having to build programming tools made your music experience better.

And I truly don't understand how making things easier leads to you losing touch with music. Maybe it's more just a function of getting older and having other, new priorities enter your life?

I checked in with the poster, they got oddly upset, shook their head and started mumbling under the breath: "no, _DVDs_, handbrake. the programming was for iTunes movies". Then they spoke more clearly: "no, my lifestyle hasn't changed, and no I won't prove it, even if I wanted to, I don't understand the idea of strangers telling me my lifestyle changed and that's why I don't read Pitchfork anymore"
