New music vs Old music

 

That's something I hadn't considered. I suppose that one could consider that listening to music for review purposes is not unlike listening to music to evaluate its worthiness for your own collection. I'm guessing that if an album you are reviewing for PA is excellent, then you would include it in your own collection. And ordinary folk such as myself do not necessarily include every album we listen to into our collections, so that even if the music we are listening to isn't being added to our collection, it still counts as time spent on listening to new music.
