I don’t like to think about how much time I’ve spent ripping CDs, but it’s better than being fed someone else’s algorithm or relying on a functional wireless connection to play my music.
I will say, I’ve discovered more music from small artists through recommendation algorithms than I otherwise would have, by a large amount. It’s one of the few areas where I’m fine with algorithmic recommendations, cause it’s not really trying to push me down a political rabbit hole to change who I am.
