I used to buy a lot of music but physical medium seems to be on the way out and there are even artists that skip entirely publishing in such format.

Streaming is not my cup of tea nor a luxury I can adhere too, as I mostly work outside and there are spots where internet coverage is just non existant.

I would gladly pay for a service that would enable me to pull down and store music I pay for.

    physical media only paid the bills for a handfull at the peak. The biggest names sold enough to make money - sometimes they even lost money touring. Everyone else made money from touring (much smaller shows - few special effects, nothing expensive). The media was a bonus to fans and a way to get word to the next place that might book you when you are in town.
