With Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and spates of other artists suddenly pulling their music from Spotify’s servers, it’s a good time to consider buying physical copies of your favorite music.

Spotify and competing services all serve the same purpose: They let you rent music and listen to as much as you want for a fixed fee. It’s a beguiling premise. For a fixed, tepid price, you have instant access to nearly all the music recorded in the past hundred years. There has never been an easier time in human history to immerse yourself in music.
