I don't have a strategy. I travel through my collection and listen to what leaps out at me, and I work on the new arrivals stack. I'm retired, I love the sound of my system, I no longer drink or smoke to dull my senses and I get three to four or more hours in a day when there isn't a hell week like the last two have been for the two of us. I know I have a huge holdings and I should be more worried about that. But I don't wonder "do I need" this or that or all of this or that. It's not about need, except the need to explore and learn about the music.

It usually takes me more time than ever to listen to a new record because I'll play it days at a time and multiple times a day, more if I like it, less if I despise it. But I like to know that when I'm done with something it's because I know it to a degree to put it away for however long, months, years decades, eternities, whatever. I've still got buttloads to get to though. -

But Lon, you're even worse than me when it comes to how much music we have... how do you determine what to play next? Do you play something you just bought or something you haven't heard in a while? Do you go for a box or a single disc? Do you go for a Mosaic regularly? Myself, at least lately, I've been reading the "What Are You Listening To Now" thread and thinking, "I haven't played that in a while" at the same time dropping in some (still) unheard new CDs. It's weird that I still have unheard CDs when I bought some of them months or even years ago. Come to think of it, I am still unsure if I ever l listened to the entire Stitt Roulette Mosaic... so much Stitt wailing on standards is a lot to sit through.
