I have digitized my CD, DVD, BD collection with JRMC. Audio Files: 14063, Video Files: 4243, Image Files: 20 377.
I use also Qobuz - but rarely - and for video Amazon prime & Netflix.
I see me as hybrid user because I had invested a lot over the years in physical media before streaming was so popular.
If I would start from scratch I would not have all the content local but some. If I compared the SQ of my ripped music concerts through JRMC to the streaming versions the SQ of the local content is much better. Also I have a lot of DSD albums and the only chance to play them is through a local player.
Also some of my most loved CD's are not available through streaming.
