It would be helpful to quantify "plenty dense" here. Paris has a population density of 21498/km2. Turning that around, that's roughly 46 square meters per person. That doesn't leave a whole lot of space for a potato

I'm basically streaming-only these days but I still find "singles only" artists tiresome to deal with. Maybe it's a shortcoming of Apple Music, but if I want to listen to an artist, I usually try to pick an album so ther
