How do you decide what you want to listen to?
Personally, I enjoy the process of flipping through the crates and shelves of my records or the shelves of CDs to set up a pile of 4 or five that I want to listen to and go from there. I invariably find something that I haven't listened to in years or even something I forgot I had. Once I start listening, one of the selections usually reminds me of something else I'd like to hear -- so I go looking for it and the process starts over again.
The extent of my streaming experience is with Amazon Music and their recommendations for me suck ass -- their algorithm doesn't work anything like my brain works.
So do you queue up a couple of albums and then just eat what they feed you after that?

For me, it's the same process you describe, but the flipping is through the Spotify app rather than real boxes and shelves. One thing leads to another. I don't often pick up on automated recommendations, but it's become more common the longer I've had my Spotify subscription.

Earlier this evening, I was flipping through and playing records. Later, I was bouncing through Spotify and ended up listening to some Sam and Dave and Temptations. However, most of my streaming is genre, meaning I stream a couple of jazz stations I like or the jazz station on Pandora. I listen to KJAZZ and JAZZ24 quite a bit. One is from Long Beach and I listened to them OTA for years. The other is from Seattle.
When I'm streaming, it's background, like FM radio. When I'm focused, it's records or CDs.
