But the thing is...you can still buy and own music for the things you
want to own.  For the price of 2-4 cappuccino's a month (depending on
your music service and your cappuccino provider) - I can listen to
almost whatever music I want...music I have missed over the
years...explore styles and genres that I would  have never touched.  I
still buy plenty of music but I could never afford all the music I
would like to own...so otherwise I would just miss it. 

Let me give you an example.  I have one Billie Holiday CD.  I love
it...but in 20 years I have never got around to buying another.  So
last weekend I decided to check out what is on Rhapsody....all of her
works is there to explore...all of it.  This weekend Bill Frisell is on
my list.  

Buying compressed music to own - I would never do that.  Unlimited
access to streaming, downloads and moving to portables (and being able
to play it in my car when I can) for a miniscule price...no question
there for me.  And then you can still buy CDs  (which I still do).
