I also still keep my own collection of music. But streaming is good for discovering new things, yet I'm not subscribed to any streaming service. Reason being that the software they provide is universally terrible.
What I'd really like to see is streaming services offer an API for 3rd party clients to use, so that you could for example have a plugin for a competently architected music player like foobar2000, instead of having to use the unholy abomination that is itunes, for example.
- mcpherrinm 6y agoSpotify does provide an API. I've used it with various command-line clients on a headless linux box. For example, https://mopidy.com/ https://mopidy.com/ There is even a foobar2000 spotify component, though I haven't used foobar2000 in a long time, so cannot vouch for its quality.
