I dunno. Have a number of CDs but 90% of music is held on a Vortexbox server feeding a Raspberry Pi (Picoreplayer) or SB Touch.
All works well enough.
BUT
Just signed up to the free trial of Qobuz and been playing through that - seems pretty good (16/44 quality version) even though they don't have all the music I've so far searched for.
SO
Is it worth keeping music at home when I can get pretty much everything streamed ? No expense needed on CDs, server etc. and no worries about backups, tagging files (OK £200/annum may gradually add up to match other costs).
What if Qobuz go bust - what would happen to my playlists ? Would another service be as good ?
One thing I suppose would be how to get music in the car (at present I play directly from Ipad into aux socket - not the best but Ok for the car) though I suppose countrywide access to wifi when mobile cant be far away.
Thoughts ?
