RE: You really do not have to be concerned about all this

I agree with just about everything you say. Streaming music is a fabulous resource. However not everything is available but I think it worth remembering that it is also a pretty new format ( Qobuz USA are only just into their second year) so their catalogues are ever expanding with many gaps being filled as time goes by.

Nevertheless I do know of companies who have taken the decision to never allow their titles to be streamed. Unfortunately for my music interests that includes one of the most important labels in classical music (nearly all new classical music now comes from independents). I have spoken with their CEO and he has solid economic reasons for this decision. I just hope that the increasing penetration and value of streaming to the recording industry may eventually serve to change his mind.
