There’s an ever-growing amount of music available today, a few taps (or clicks) away. I for one feel like there’s a lot of great music in many genres and styles, coming from many countries, and in many languages. And there’s always new, interesting stuff coming out regularly.

Whether a new release from an artist you like, or an old one you want to go back to, there are so many options to choose from at any given point in time. Yet we can only hear one at a time, so we must choose. So…

How do you choose what to listen to, and how do you keep up with everything you want to keep up with? Do you manage to listen to everything you want to on a regular basis? Do you instead choose to articially limit yourself to keep sane? Or is your music taste narrow enough this is of no worry?

    I artificially limit myself to Creative Commons music. Never been particularly convinced of digital ownership, so I prefer stuff that I can re-download at any time. I do also like a lot that I can share the music files freely.

    Well, and a very personal reason for limiting the selection, is that I’m a hobby musician myself. It helps convince my brain that my own music is worth creating, if I’m not constantly bombarded with an infinite selection of amazing music…
