Some people like their music without DRM and vendor lock-in. We rip it from Audio-CDs or buy mp3 albums when available. Sometimes we even resort to piracy (SoulSeek, torrent, one-click hoster+piracy blogs).

Also if you often travel between borders, streaming music is just not an option.

I have an offline collection of about 500GB of music, but there are people who have substantially more.
