Well, when there's a service problem, I'd rather sail than 'buying' digital.

I don't wan to pay for music i don't own, the free version of Spotify is pretty useless due to the severe limitations, spotify grayed a lot of songs in my playlists because of uncleared samples and I also want to support artists when I can afford it

Since i'm not paying for streaming services, I can't download the tracks for offline playback and on Spotify the limit is 10k tracks but my library is over 40k tracks.I also think local players are better than sttreaming services players. My music player Musicolet is the only music player that allows me to create queues so i don't have to remember the latest track i listened to on every playlists

Unless things have changed, you get unencrypted MP3s when buying from iTunes.
