Do you own your music collection or pay for streaming? #asknostr

A bit of both. Some iTunes albums, mostly YouTube music. Others in the fam use paid Pandora.
All my best music comes from

I used to be a very, very large obtainer of music from sources that may or may not have allegedly charged me for said music. I purchased my last CD in 1997. It was Metallica's Garage Inc. After nearly a decade, streaming services became so incredibly easy to use and contained all of the music that I needed. I've happily paid for streaming services since then.
If I only had a few Sony BDP-CX960 lol
Pay for streaming. Gives me access to more different types of music that I may not necessarily be on the lookout for
Apple Music and then a program which lets you copy a version of the song and building my
Own library at the same time
MP3s only. I made the switch back from Spotify earlier last year. Maintaining a music library is a hobby of mine from when I was young, so I didn't mind the effort of finding, downloading, and organizing a few thousand songs.
Right! This is my plan as well. Recently cancelled my apple music subscription, wrote down all my artists. Will slowly restart my collection. Did you mostly torrent?
I use soulseek mostly. As well as these if I can't find it on soulseek:

When all else fails, yt-dlp. I don't torrent much music because they're mostly private trackers nowadays.
I download flacs and reencode them myself to 320 mp3. I don't have hi-fi equipment, so mp3 is just fine for me.
Both 😊
