   So what would be a realistic estimate of the percentage of music that has been   
   released in the past that is available through such streaming services   
   offering 100   
   million tracks?   
   More like 40% or more like 80%?   
      
   I'm certainly glad I collect music myself, so I'm not at the mercy of these   
   tech   
   molochs like apple that can decide on a whim to remove music from the   
   collection   
   they offer access to.   
      
   4 TB SSD is an amazing cosmic jukebox with a playlist shuffling more than   
   100000   
   tracks.
