I was listening to some Brahms music and I was thinking I should find myself some more, but I forgot how hard it is to get a proper classical music CD.
Searching is always difficult, and then my NYPL card doesn’t work anymore. When I do find a CD, I need to pick it up from the library and record the tracks to mp3 of flac files.
Why not just listen to streaming music? Because it seems every musician and his grandma create some Brahms cover (this is much worse of course for Beethoven, or Mozart) and you end up listening to some electrical guitar mix with drums that some 20-year-old thought was cool.
Comment from 2024-12-12: Since then, I’ve learned and subscribed to Idagio, an online lossless streaming service that keeps my classical music cravings satisfied
