And you usually get some smartypants saying "But discs can go bad!"
Yes, discs can go bad. Film and burn. 16mm copies can rot.
But one thing film history has taught us is that titles are far, far safer in the hands of affectionate amateurs than they are with the studios.

And if I'm spending a lot of time listening to Qobuz, the percentage of new discovery goes up and you get things like a singer of early music repertoire dominating the list for a week, never to return again (I quite liked him, though).

Couple of things: the weekly lists lag a bit because I only synch my old iPod twice a week. If I spend a lot of time listening to music on my laptop, the amount of new albums goes up, as does the percentage that is work from my own former bands, The Hooded Crow and Alpha-Alpha.
