If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don’t, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?

EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.

    This is why a streaming service works for me. Back when I had to buy music, I basically never did, so never really listened. Now that I can usually play something that I’ve never heard before, but is still similar to stuff I like, I play music all the time.

    I understand the argument that artists get paid less for streaming, but I suspect the increased playing time makes up for it

      This is a really good point. I wish I had the money to buy physical media, to support the artists I like. However, I listen to way too many songs and albums. Not only this but I enjoy shuffling music from different albums. I always use shuffle unless listening to new music.
