>You're devaluing your own labor and perpetual storage costs for eternally maintaining your own library, and making it accessible to each device you want to listen from. With streaming, there's just a single set of credentials to manage, and then I can access anything I want from any device I want. I don't have to store new music anywhere, or pull it down to other devices. The value of my labor and storage efforts are worth both the control I have over my collection and my ability to ensure that I will keep what I want for as long as I want to. >It also ignores multiple aspects of discoverability. If I hear a song I like from an artist, I can spend zero marginal dollars to find out if I like anything else they've made. I can easily do this with any number of already-existing tools, including Bandcamp.
