> Spotify has basically everything and why bother?
So you don't tether yourself to a single company that could change their terms/prices on a whim? Plus, unless you're streaming on their "very high" setting (320kbps), there's a noticeable difference in quality on half way decent speakers.
You either tether yourself to a companies whim or you tether yourself to piles of physical stuff you have to manage for the rest of your life. Personally I'll take digital every time the choice comes up.
False dichotomy. You could rip all your CDs and scan all your books, and there's a good chance it'll fit on a single hard disk drive. Don't forget that digital storage technology density is improving every year, while books and CDs aren't getting any smaller.
