not that i know. i *listen* to music on You Tube. I found that it gives a wide panoramic on different performances on the same piece.

My main interest in music is opera. I buy the CDs still because opera CDs generally come with libretto booklets - extremely useful when listening!

I do not have that fine ear. Or that fine stereo or that silent house
but ...
I like all music and from time to time I repeat the process of re-listening to it from origin to ... almost nowadays. I mean not every piece, but moving from period to period, and stopping for a while when I find some old friend that becomes attractive again while re-listening.
I also like to load a large number of pieces of all possible genres and let chaos choose for me. Some time the results are quite agreeable.
I like opera also, more if I can see it, although it has become quite a rare event for me, since I live in the country. I got myself enrolled in a plan by which I got almost 80 DVD's (the plan ends with the next 5 issues). The problem is finding the time to seat and watch and listen with calm and concentration, maybe when I will stop working, in a few years from now.
