Streaming services have enabled people to instantly access music on their devices – but they’re also normalising substandard audio quality. In their quest for high-fidelity experiences, some audiophiles are now seeking venues that put music first, prizing purity of sound over all other factors.

This means that, despite strong opinions on who should have a handle on their data, people have a habit of relinquishing control over their private information.
