Amazon still let you download DRM free MP3s for any music you've bought (well, as a Prime customer I still can, maybe it's different for non-Prime).

I still buy CDs. That way the music is mine, and no-one can suddenly delete the CD from my bookshelf without my consent. I rip the CDs lossless, then de-jewel-case the CD and put the disc and inlay into an acid-neutral storage bag, and seal it. I can't do hi-bitrate music like this (unless I want to rip BluRay albums) but at my age, it's not like I still have a high-fidelity hearing ability anyway.
