Yep.. did that too, from radio, with the record button at the  
ready.

I enjoy using Spotify to [1] discover new music, [2] seek out  
cover versions of a song by other artists.

But what Spotify lacks is learning the particulars of a  
recording: who produced it, the list of musicians, where it was  
recorded, etc.  All that info was offered on most LP jackets,  
and even CDs.  Without that info, a significant aspect of music  
appreciation,  musicianship and tehnical background is lost and  
Spotify remains just a pool of "sounds".
