Sadly (!), some of us don’t need to do that because we’ve still got the originals. I even have the first few on cassette tape before they started to have CD editions.
I admit that young-me didn’t realise that the artists probably didn’t make any money from them; later it had become a habit that I admit I haven’t gone out of my way to break as it’s a decent way to catch up on trends without needing to brave the wilds of music radio or tv. There are usually a few songs on every edition that I’m glad I’ve heard, and it’s sometimes fun to go back to earlier ones to see the first sightings of singers and bands that go on to become huge (and the one-hit wonders too.)
