Local copy for life. Streaming is just renting by a nicer name. I don't want to pay for the rest of my life to access the same content. I'll buy CDs and I'll buy DRM-free FLAC files if available, but otherwise I'm pirating the FLAC copy or, if worst comes to worst, ripping the audio from YouTube (too many new artists/YT artists don't offer lossless downloads). I'm not paying for something I don't get to keep.

Where do you purchase DRM free flacs?
Local library for me for sure!
I discover new music through friends, Shazam, and browsing Youtube Music.
With ~6k songs I don't get bored that fast.
I agree with OP that it is best to have DRM free files. For music recommendations, I use a Scrobber plugin for Last.fm.
