Streaming Music and being able to keep them as your personel files

Spotify too lets you download music to a local hard drive for listening while off-line.  You don't own the music outright;  you need an active subscription and must periodically re-connect to Spotify (1x/mo?) to maintain access to the downloaded files.  

If, at some point, there is signal coming from RCA outputs, isn't this recordable?

Sure, you could do that, but you'd have to time the track breaks just right, then you have to convert what will probably be a raw .WAV file into something more usable, input all of the metadata manually for each track, and go through a lot of hassle when it would be easier to just buy the album from HDTracks or iTunes if you want to keep it forever and move it across multiple devices.

When you sign up for a streaming service you are't buying the music, you're buying access to play any of the music from their catalog for as long as you maintain your membership.  If you want to keep the music you need to buy the album from a service that offers that.

Thanks for the info...

And what exactly to I do once I enroll in membership in either Tidal or Spotify.Meaning is there a specific procedure to follow in uploading music to my personal files? Sorry,im not that profecient in these sites for streaming..Im more of a cd/lp sort of an audio enthusiast.

Very simple once a member of tidal, Deezer, Spotify etc.
At least on tidal the proceedure is once you are highlighted on an album, there will be a drop down,menu on the right to access. This gives you options like, play, add to favourites and download.
If I remember right this option to download is only available to mobile devices and versions( android and iOS).
I know it does not exist on my desktop tidal app.
Good luck.
