Just read an article claiming that some streaming services are "contemplating" culling their catalogs, meaning they’ll drop anything that doesn’t get at least a minimum number of views per month - over time. Not all of them are planning this right now, but it might be handwriting on the wall of "things to come". So, while streaming is great and can be elevated to be equal (or even better) than playing a local CD transport into your DAC, at least if you BUY physical media, no one can take that away from you on a whim or based on some mid-level executive’s decision nor the artists or lawyers with their panties in a wad about some perceived issue.
I'd hate to see streaming devolve into "the top 40", but who knows the future?
Good luck with both worlds. Enjoy, while you can.
