Exactly why I prefer/value my local music collection!
I enjoy my subscription to Qobuz, but I buy anything I want to keep because who knows when it will no longer be available on streaming.
Same here. I used to have Spotify premium but got frustrated with the many changes so I switched to Qobuz...which didn't make a difference.
At least I have 'lossless' audio now. Not that it's really audible, but it gives some peace of mind
(I remember listening to the Dire Straits album 'On every street' on Spotify once, and remembering it sounded
much better on CD. So I decided to do a direct A to B comparison with the CD. To my amazement they sounded completely identical. My memory was playing tricks on me
)
As for the 'high res' recordings on Qobuz: Some 44.1/16 tracks sound amazing, some 'high res' tracks sound awful. The production is all that matters here.
But back to the 80s now!
