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).
I've never heard of it! Thank goodness I only use music-specific platform; though there is no guarantee, at least I think they are more likely to last a long time than things like Walmart music. That's a good reminder of the danger to digital files, especially if you don't save them on your own accounts. I still think the convenience wins over such issue, though.
