Yeah, we'll all have to start our music collection all over again.  First we 
collected vinyl, then 8-track, then cassette, then CDs, then local files (MP3 
for most but .ogg for me) and now cloud.

  The sad part is that the very folks who think that cloud is cool don't have 
any idea of what they're missing.  Most cloud MP3 files are lossy - I was 
listening to Amazon Music's 50 Greatest Jazz songs playlist over the weekend 
and noticed multiple occasions when the volume faded.  That always happened 
when a musician hit some really high notes whose harmonics get clipped by the 
MP3 format.

​I guess this has a lot to do with great phone apps for streaming music, so 
owning music must seem like a thing of the past for a certain segment.
