Great choice of first album to buy!

Like you, but probably in a more circumscribed fashion, I've supported some pretty unknown bands/musicians too. I once held the naïve hope that streaming would help them break free of geographic limitations and find a larger paying audience, even if small; alas, none of them has become more than a regional band.

I've only used Spotify at work: a medical massage place was set up so each treatment room had its own music setup for the therapist to customize. It was barely acceptable, and the only redeeming feature of it was I could find a hard rock channel and crank some good stuff while cleaning the room and prepping for the morning therapist. Your personal collection is larger than mine, but not by a lot, and I'm still buying (CD and MP3) to fill holes in it. It's nice to have choices and set things up as one wants.
