However, for my personal needs that choice involves all too much fuss, clutter and additional and unnecessary expense for provider services.Largely for the benefit of others who may read this post:
1. The "fuss" is eliminated by the increasing number of releases available by downloads. My library contains a fairly good sized collection of high resolution releases. Even for rips, there is no question that I spend less time for the one time capture and eliminate ongoing time required for every subsequent access. It's no different from the benefit of using electronic document management vs. storing and retrieving paper files. And yes, all of my financial records are stored electronically. I don't do paper any more. Don't have any clue as to the "clutter". The wall of CDs can be eliminated.
2. Perhaps your environment is different, but quite a few households today already have a home network infrastructure. Ours is used not only for music, but streaming movies both via internet providers and from content on the server. It also supports the security cameras.
3. There are no "provider services" required for me to stream music from my server via my network to my players. Perhaps you are thinking of dependence via the subscription services such as Tidal, Spotify, etc. Since two of our cars have XM access, we can also stream their content over the 'net, but that has nothing to do with my music library. At no expense, I regularly stream music from a wide range of classical radio stations.
Maybe it helps that I am an IT guy. :)
