I'm embarrassed to admit that despite having had Spotify for years, my music tastes didn't change much.

I switched back to albums, and can thankfully pick clients that suit my taste.

* https://apps.gnome.org/Amberol/ for desktop Linux

Beets and rsync manage tags and distribution.

Don't be embarrassed, that's probably most people.

We like what we like.

Napster and, later, streaming caused me to experiment a bit more. But although I picked up various artists and genres over the years I'm still pretty rooted in what I liked during college and early adult years. If my access to streaming were cut off tomorrow, I'd be pretty content with my mostly ripped from CD music library.
