Wilfrid Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 19 hours ago, Sneakeater said: I guess I avoid that problem by sticking to the incredibly antiquated expedient of only listening to music I own. (I'm not trying to be superior or anything about this. It's nothing more than a habit.) That would certainly solve my problem, but since I don’t only read books or watch movies I own, let alone only look at paintings I own, it seems a bit arbitrary.
