You don't even need to add Spotify to that equation.
I have all my music stored locally. It's about 300 CDs that i ripped (out of a 1000 CD collection) and stored the originals in the attic. Since iTunes removed their DRM, i've purchased my music there.
My iPhone is "plenty" good for playing music where i want it, and with an iTunes match subscription, i have my music available in the cloud.
I don't subscribe to any music streaming service, and i doubt i ever will, especially since "modern music" seems to be about cranking out one hit wonders with very little quality and skill.
It may be survival bias, but i am hard pressed to find any band/musician from the past 2 decades we will still listen to in 2 decades time.
