Where do you get your music from?

I have three main sources of music:
1. The Music Channel from my TC cable provider
2. SiriusXM
3. My digital collection of my vinyl albums and CDs.

1. My personal collection (mostly converted to digital, purchased/downloaded, or CDs I haven't gotten to yet)
2. Spotify
3. Amazon Music (occasionally)
4. concerts available on YouTube and Tubi (and other streaming services)
5. car radio (albeit I'm more likely to listen to NPR, the occasional "oldies" station, or my own music)

And, on both guitar & piano, half of what I do is extemporaneous so I get music out of my head, too!

My lab likes it. She loves to lay close to the acoustic guitar and feel the vibration. My biggest, (only) fan.
She Especially likes drop D tuning.

My computer has been doing wonky things lately, and I've lost a lot of my music. Thanks!

I've yet to figure out how to transfer my iTunes playlists to Apple Music, though. The few directions I've found, the options listed aren't available.

I got a smokin' deal on Sirius when I cancelled & turned down their "please don't leave offer." A few days later I still had Sirius in my car & figured they'll get around to turning it off. The very next day I got an email with an even sweeter deal that renews at a lower rate than my original, so I took it.

I Don know if I'll get back to a rare house sitting; I play that person's CDs, and if their turn table still works their original albums. We have some similar favorites.

I wear Bose noise-canceling headphones at home; the sound quality is quite good.
