A good question. However...I have long been wary of music that is only in digital format. It sounds great for sure...but do you really own it and what exactly are your rights to using it. Particularly if it is on a cloud server. What happens if it fails, goes bankrupt, or compromised. What happens if your down loads on your player get corrupted, or you lose it. With a physical format these are not issues (except stolen or damaged). Just food for thought.
Remember when that happened to Walmart music? You probably shunned it, but it was popular for a while. They sold digital singles for .88 each, then they stopped the service. So yeah, you could download them one last time, but that was a big warning to me that maybe I shouldn't entrust my music to iTunes (that was the next big thing at the time).
