Hi folks, first post. Just wanted to kick off a potential discussion, I don’t use streaming at all due to poor artist rates and the behaviour of certain CEO’s
At the moment, I’m at a sizeable vinyl collection around sixty and growing, mainly European Hard Rock/Metal, however I do have the odd HipHop type album too (Young Fathers)
I’m the type of guy who will buy an album based off the cover, which has introduced me to lots of cool stuff, but I was just wondering as I’m getting older, how are people finding new music in 2025?


I’m a sell out that uses Spotify for modern and new music. I still have vinyls and a Garrand SL 95B for listening on. But I don’t buy many new vinyls lately, so it’s just the older music for that.
