Cranky ol’ techie opinion: the model where you buy the music, download the music, and own the data was — and still is — the best model for creating a personal music library.
Not streaming. Not LPs. Downloadable high-quality digital.
PSA: The iTunes Store still exists. As does Bandcamp…for now. And they’re lossless and DRM-free.
