I still regularly use my local collection. There are two reasons for that. First, I have a some material that was never released -- stuff that I recorded, demo/promo material that I received, LPs that I transferred that were never released on CD (or the CD wasn't as good) along with a fair amount of open reel material that I digitized. Qobuz is no help with that.

Second, my familiarity with my own collection makes browsing easier there than Qobuz. I often pick what I want to hear via folder browsing. The stuff may still be available on Qobuz but looking for songs there is a different experience. (In fact, the loss of folder browsing was one of the reasons I didn't stick with Roon after trying it.)

I'd guess I'm at 50:50 local v. streaming right now. The Qobuz percentage will probably creep up over time, but the local collection isn't going anywhere.
