Streaming or Local music storage?
#7
I’m in the non streaming camp.

I have all my music 100% dematerialized on the ssd of my laptop (mostly from ripping my collection of CDs or buying new albums on Qobuz).

I favor listening to pieces of music I know, therefore having them stored locally is much more efficient than streaming it 10s of times.

In addition, I would hate not to be able to listen to my music just because the internet is not working.

In full disclosure, I took an Apple Music subscription for the family, which means that I use streaming a bit, but it is to ‘test’ if I like a new record or an artist I have heard of. If the answer is yes and if I really like it, I’ll buy. If not, I will stop listening to the pieces.

Therefore I’m probably using streaming less than 1% of the time.
