Couldn't agree more. Granted I already had a collection started in the form of high quality mp3s I used to import into iTunes.
Since switching to using only my music library I've started to enjoy radio and "shuffle all" much more. I rediscovered a lot of artists that the streaming apps stopped recommending.
I've, overtime, started replacing my mp3s with flacs from bandcamp. It eases a lot.of stress knowing I own my copies and bandcamp (and qobuz) keeps backups in case I happen to lose my library.
