I use Spytify, so I "download" my songs real time in the background. If anything it makes me more intentional about what I do grab. Grabbing the entire discography of an artists may take a day, so a little pre-veting is necessary. you find out why some of the big names only have 1 or 2 hits out of a hundred, but you also find some great songs that didn't make it.
I'll usually aquire a few albums at a time. I'll give each song a quick pass (jumping to random parts) to determine the following
*I use MP3Gain for bulk volume adjustment, it does pretty good and is non-destructive, though not every player respects the adjustment (a tag in metadata or something)
I don't catch everything doing this, mostly because I spend a few seconds on each song, but it does filter out a lot.
Sometimes it takes a few listens to decide "I dont like this song" - delete.
I'm not a completionist (or try not to be) for albums/artists. If I don't like the song, its gone. If there's one part of a whole that I don't like, its chopped out.
