There's too much music in the world that I want to listen to that I never will.

Even if I listened to music 24/7 without sleeping for a full week I wouldn't even cover my backlog, let alone all of the stuff I haven't heard yet that I'm sure I would love.

I will die before I listen to all the music I want to listen to thoroughly.

This is a seriously depressing thought.

    This is a seriously depressing thought.

or incredibly empowering.

Think about it - you'll never visit every cool place in the world - but you can see a lot of them in person because of advanced transportation, or virtually through the internet.

You'll never hear all of the music in the world - but you can listen to infinitely more than your mom or dad could at your age.

You'll never visit every corner of the internet - but it wasn't even around (really) just 30 years ago.

What you've got isn't as depressing as you think. You have almost immediate access to almost anything you want at any moment of your waking life.

You can choose to be depressed about it.

Or you could be as giddy as a school kid on a mountain of candy.

The choice is yours.

So I didn't answer your question. I use spottily and band camp and the local radio station but I'll never have enough time either. I've got to choose to be happy about what I get instead of sad about what I might have missed. This is a great problem to have.
