My God this is a tiresome side of Lemmy, I like the idea of ownership and all that but streaming offers more than access it is convenient and cheap access to a wider range than possible to download.
And I could probably pull any of those thousands of songs out of thin air anywhere in the world on nearly any device and play it on Spotify or YouTube. You sound like a jealous broke bitch
Definitely agree with you, but it's good to make playlists yourself too. I've got playlists I made over a decade ago that I go back to every now and again
