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.
