I used to do that but with a streaming subscription I have a far wider selection to choose from, pretty much every album ever made. I can then stream all of these through the car. It's definitely widened what I listen to as I can just download a few songs from a band rather than buy a whole album.I always buy the CD, rip it to the PC to put on a USB stick in the car or play via the PC when working. Occaisionally I might even stick the CD on the Stereogram
My whole CD collection is on USB stciks that I can play in the car
With a subscription you aren't buying the music each time, it's like a library where you can take out every book if you want to.
