Agreed, I never went the streaming route and have been adding to my music collection for over 15 years now. My iTunes library is 320GB, and my constantly growing Hits List playlist is comprised of 2,200 of my favorite tracks. I throw this on shuffle and barely ever repeat a track too often given the size of it. Some songs I may not have heard for a few years, and appear suddenly like coming across a snow leopard. I actually own this music, I curate it, and no internet connectivity issues applies.
