You get a bonus "making of" documentary for each album, though. It's not quite the same thing.

As for Spotify, the player, at least on Mac OS, tends to intermittently decide that it can't connect to the Internet (when everything else is fine), or announce that music I added to a playlist months ago is now no longer available. I much prefer, on those occasions when I decide I want new music, to buy a physical CD and rip it in lossless format, rather than rely on some third party to stream me music in a lossy format.
