And as someone who has maintained a home server for well over a decade, I can say that the cloud is a lot more attractive to most people, since there are lots of companies out there who are willing to hold my data with little or no monetary cost to me.

Wow, that's seriously hardcore. Do you buy new LPs or do you mainly surf yard sales?
I have a turntable, and when I find an interesting old LP in good condition at a yard sale, I'll buy it for $1. Then I play it once to digitize it, although I like looking at the yellowed, battered old sleeves while listening to my FLAC files
As I said in my post it is a dream that I naively maintain, maybe its the curmudgeon in me but there is something nice about the physical presence/experience of my stuff even in a digital world. That's why I still buy CD's and vinyl for my favorite music which I play at home, watch movies at the theatre for anticipated movies but I pay Rhapsody $12 a month for my mobile music and wait for rental DVD releases or download services for movies I might want to watch.
