For me, as a member of that current generation, I value highly my ownership of digital files. I can't get into things like Rdio, I love Pandora for just throwing on like a radio though.
But when it comes to my music collection, I've been gathering these MP3s for something like 13 years now. And many of my most valued recordings are audience/soundboard recordings of live shows, something the current services don't really offer.
I see. Perhaps the 'generation' that comes after you will be the people who treasure their AmazonBook Cloudplex Music and Pandora.FM accounts, and reject beaming music directly into their minds.
