I rip to FLAC for storage and then 256kb/s VBR for listening. Don't want to have the discussion but 256 VBR is better than simple 256.

Well, I was in the process of signing up to apple music, when it started going on about needing to authorise my imac, and I already had 5 things authorised, so de-auth one of those, etc...
So I bailed out at that point and bought some albums on amazon (whichever was the cheapest option, CD or Mp3, as long as the CD included autorip). Seems that autorip doesn't apply to buying used CDs off Amazon, which is fair enough.

Think the last stuff I bought was from Amazon ...

The "cool" music isn't on Spotify though. And it's definitely not on Apple Music. It is being made by teenagers and early 20-somethings in their bedrooms and pushed out on the likes of YouTube.
* * Which reminds me. Being an old fart I have several draws full of CD's from the late 80's and 90's which I have absolutely no way of playing. Really must take them to the charity shop.

My friends think I'm a luddite when I talk about buying CDs, they think I of all people shouldn't be doing this...

You can download a copy immediately you purchase, so I'm not sure 2 & 3 are both needed. But yes

1. Buy from Amazon with Autorip
2. Stream from AmazonCloud to Sonos - whilst waiting for CD
3. Download from AmazonCloud to NAS
4. Put CD in CD rack on wall

Since the death of all my fave record shops, I tend to use Traxsource, Beatport, Stompy (although this has just closed) and Juno
