That might seem like a lot, but if you spent some time exploring the streaming libraries, you might realize how stale even a collection that large may come over time. Even an extremely large music collection will typically have a few 10's of thousands of tracks. Streaming makes an excellent supplement to any music lover's repertoire. I think the mistake you are making is assuming that it must be either/or. To think that it must completely replace your local collection is to miss the point. I have a library of similar size to those mentioned here - cd/digital and vinyl, and yet I still find new albums I LOVE nearly every week through the streaming services I subscribe to.

For an extremely small amount of money compared to the cost of amassing those large collections you get a window into all of the influences of your favorite musicians, are free to explore their less-known works, or works of the supporting members of the band, with no risk other than the time it takes to click and listen. The benefit of a good streaming service is that it constantly exposes you to new music based on the music you already like. That makes me a technological cro-magnon but I don't care.
I'm not a fan of digital purchases unless it is the only option available. I have carefully crafted playlists for those times, like those songs playing on AM radio during those Summers spent upstate in the late 60's, another playlist of those 8-Track tapes we'd play at our New Year's Eve parties, another playlist for those marathon study sessions in college, etc. Certain songs are strongly connected with certain times of my life. It may sound corny and cliche, but my music collection is the soundtrack of my life. Few if any will be listening to some esoteric tracks from an indie band 2 years from now that are "in" today. No need to purchase music that will not be listened to again after 3 months. That is far more music than one could purchase outright.Īnother aspect. Streaming services advertise "access to millions of tracks". Get into a more expensive car than you could afford to purchase. It's similar to the car leasing mentality.
