1) Quality is acceptable

2) Large part of world's population can't afford subscription services

3) There's a lot of music that is not on music streaming services but is on YouTube

4) Sometimes you need the mp3 file (for ringtone, for editing, for remixing etc)

5) There are still some people who rather want everything on their HDD

6) content disappears from YT all the time, as anyone with large playlists must have notice. Better keep a local copy.

A lot of Caribbean music (Soca, Dancehall, Parang etc.) is like this.
