Your description of Google Music makes it sound awful and completely unusable.
It does take a bit of effort to manage my own music collection, but I feel like I am well protected against data loss by having it synced between a NAS, external server, and Crash Plan. 90% of my listening is done via the external server running Subsonic, using both the web interface and the excellent mobile app iSub. I also try to always pick up a vinyl at live shows since they are big and nice to look at (and occasionally listen to), and usually come with a free mp3 download.
There are no limits on how many times I can access my music files. I can access them any way that I please, from pretty much any device, forever. I couldn't have it any other way with my music collection.

This is a halfway solution for people who are not necessarily good at backups. And I get to listen to the music on the web interface or on my phone (which is basically all I care about). Maybe I'm an awful person, but I greatly prefer this to the USB/SD card shenanigans of yore.
