All of us have our own relationship with music, for some it provides some background colour to the day, for others it’s an integral part of life.

While it’s easier than ever to access an enormous amount of music from every era, genre and country on Earth, has it become more difficult to forge meaningful relationships with artists and their songs? How do we keep track of a lifetime’s worth of music appreciation and listening, and is it even important that we do?
