Also millennial. The only thing I pay for is Tidal. Music streams, at least for now, are operating as they should. You pay one a month, get all the content and no ads. I'm using it everyday and it costs almost nothing.

I wouldn't be so sure about that lifetime subscription. Companies already started changing the terms of use while subscribed. Sony's has been removing movies that have been purchased from people's librarys.

I buy the music I want to have track by track on iTunes, I have 800 songs in my library, my thinking is that if I get on hard times, I will at least be able to keep access to my music without any added cost.

I do this and download it to local storage. It's all DRM free and I can stream it myself with Jellyfin or throw it on a USB stick to play in my car. Even if Apple goes belly-up or something they can't revoke that access.

I also have 300+ CDs though.

That was my plan, but I haven't got to it yet.

I'll have to spin up a VM with Windows, install iTunes and start downloading

I understand why you'd be worried but comparing a multi-billion multi-national corporation like Sony to Nebula is like comparing CNN or Fox News to 4ZZZ Community Radio, they are worlds apart

At the risk of sounding cynical. I also wouldn't trust any company to stay fair forever.
