There's an interim here between CDs and streaming that you partially mentioned, and the one that fit between them chronologically. Digital jukeboxes, like MP3 players and harddrive home media systems. Although the modern equivalent would be a micro SD card and a phone. Buy two micro SD cards for redundancy, update your library as you get new songs. If you get direct downloads you get thousands of songs, many of which aren't available from streaming services, and nothing can take them away from you aside from time, physical media theft, or data corruption. It's a tradeoff of frontloading the effort versus dealing with it on the fly.
