Don Satz wants to know how many times do you listen to a disc you dont like
before assigning it to the trash bin.
I don't assign any discs to trash bin. My taste in music is evolving all
the time. When I first listen to a disc, I tend to get the general feel of
the disc. My second listen is much more attentive. If after two listenings
I don't get anything from the disc, I generally keep it in an area where
eventually I will give it another listen. If a disc does nothing for me
after three listens I then tend to file it.
I might read a review about this particular disc that tends to be favorable.
I genrally give it another listen. Sometimes I might hear something, sometimes
I just don't get it. But I am happy to put in the effort. It just might
take that third or fourth listen to do it for me. This has happened to me
quite a few times.
My problem over the past few years is I have so many new discs I listen to,
it is becoming impossible to go back to the discs I have filed.
