I guess there's no way to own music in these latest formats. Atmos can be shipped on blu-ray discs, and one of the very few examples of this is Mike Oldfield's 50th anniversary release of "Tubular Bells".
But most other artists/labels don't do this, so you can only ever stream it. Streaming is DRM protected, and usually limited to particular platforms or systems.
If you don't want to pay a monthly fee, or if the service just goes away, or they decide to license the rights to someone else for whatever reason, bam, your music is just gone.
Maybe I'm old, but I still like to own my music. Even if it's only in a digital format, I'd rather have a copy saved on a disk somewhere that I know I'll be able to keep playing through my retirement.
