[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1120460, member: 16824"] Choice Paralysis. That is what it is known as, as defined by Barry Schwartz. In essence - having an abundance of choices (like with streaming) leads to us being less happy with the choice/s we do eventually take, and also makes it more difficult for us to make a choice than if we were presented with only a few options to choose from. This is easily shown by streaming services - a plethora of tracks, let alone albums to choose from. That's why there are algorithms, to guide us into making choices. The same holds true to a lesser extent for those of us who have large physical music collections - we will rotate between say 20 favourite albums for a while, then a different 20 albums for a while and so on. There will be albums we return to time & again, and others that only get played a few times, or once only. [/QUOTE]
