So you get a vast amount more choice for the same price? That doesn’t factor into your assessment of value at all?

But you don't own the data as in you can play in different devices, the streaming service has to exist where you want the music and it has to have constant internet access. Before you could load the CD in the car and run in roads that are in no-coverage area. Also you pay for the internet access.

Not true, offline play is possible.

For me, absolutely not. I'd rather go back to listening to the radio and not being able to decide what's playing. I currently buy two to three albums a year on Bandcamp or Amazon, the rest is YouTube.
