I mean there aren't just subscription services, you can buy a copy of something if you really love it. But if you're only going to listen to it twice, for a grand total of five minutes altogether, then you don't really need to own it, do you? And then there's storage and the risk of files getting corrupted. So then you've paid for a copy of a file that you don't actually have anymore – sometimes they'll let you redownload it but then again you're effectively locked into someone else's library, as you can only redownload it from that one retailer.

I have CDs of the good stuff... I feel like if you have a CD you really own it. <presuming you still own a CD player>

That said, I own plenty of books. I still buy the murdered tree kind and then buy more before I've read the first one so they kinda accumulate  I guess that's kinda like your music buying habit.
