Mine is this: I have tracks that aren't available on any streaming service. I've also been buying music on CD since 1993, and online for 10+ years and have over 120k tracks which will never "become unavailable". My playlists will never disappear. I'll never pay another cent for them this music for the rest of my life. The money you pay to rent music each month, I use to buy another 2 albums and a bunch of tracks, so my collection constantly grows in the direction I want it to.

Goodwill is a great source of CDs, too. Entire albums are $0.99. I get 20 CDs every couple of weeks, then rip them all as FLACs (with cdparanoia).

I re-purposed a Kodak Photo Kiosk thing to automate the ripping. http://www.davisr.me/projects/cd-ripping/
