Streaming isn’t available where there’s no internet connection, unless you just happen to have cached what you’re looking for. Whereas my entire music collection is available any time.
I also heavily dispute that Spotify, Apple, etc lead to better search or discovery.

You carry your “easily accessible cloud storage” everywhere with you? > I also heavily dispute that Spotify, Apple, etc lead to better search or discovery. You don’t “dispute”. You “firmly believe”. As others already pointed out: I’d never have discovered as much music within my music tastes as I’ve done with Spotify. There’s no chance in hell I could’ve stumbled on some indie band that is US-only while leaving in Sweden. There are Swedish bands which are suddenly popular in Brasil and they go there on tours, which they never would’ve done without Spotify. Etc. etc.
- mlthoughts2018 7y ago> “You carry your “easily accessible cloud storage” everywhere with you?” Huh? I mean, first of all yes, I do. I have my whole music library in Dropbox, but that’s not related to what I’m saying. I have my whole music library already cached on my phone, tablet, laptop, etc., and so can listen without an internet connection. This is in VLC, not any cloud storage (I just use that for backups only).
