I largely agree with you here. I recently left Spotify and have been growing my locally hosted music library and instead of building my own playlists I’ve just been tuning into whole albums. I’ve found that most albums (not all, some albums seem to just be thrown together) have a flow to them and are just much more enjoyable when listened together.

They were pretty thrilled.

I’m thinking of giving them a linux PC to try out at some point as they mostly use it for Facebook and excel spreadsheets anyway.
