Yes, lots of what Spotify (and others) do are great benefits. I've
discovered several new bands that I enjoy (and some that I don't) by
playing Spotify's Daily Mixes or other playlists that I come across.

True, very much so.

I often tell myself I am going to sit down, and listen to this album or
that (streaming) and it's not long before I am distracted, doing
something on my phone, tablet or laptop. That probably would not happen
so easily if I was listing to an album.

I am still trying to set aside some listening time, but it's almost
impossible sometimes.
