Some of us care about privacy. "Privacy terrors" is granted a bit extreme. I differ from the author in that I prefer to listen to random songs from my collection of curated favorites that I have built up over the years rather than listen to individual cds. I've tried streaming services and that whole paradigm is just not what I want. I prefer to know that the next song is one I want to listen to, and I'm OK with not randomly finding that the next song is a new favorite. I have other ways I discover music. I prefer to control the music files I listen to and don't trust the cloud to keep them safe. When I was younger I listened to cassette tapes and cds more than I listened to radio. Am I afraid of this new technological world? Well, no, probably not, since I've spent most of my spare time (and later, my work life as well) programming or otherwise interacting with computers since at least 1978 or so. People are different. It's a good thing.
