YouTube certainly doesn’t have everything. Since using Spotify for the last like 3 years, there’s been less than a dozen things I’ve searched for and not found, YouTube is pretty poor for this with music. Unless uploaded by the artist or label, most videos for songs are removed for copyright pretty quickly. YouTube audio is quite shit too unless you’re at home with good connection and all the videos are available in HD. YouTube’s only advantage over Spotify is that it’s free.
I discover new music I like almost daily with Spotify’s suggested sections and personalised playlists, if I had my own library I’d be stuck listening to the same shit for years.

Serves you right for liking shit in the first place. I haven't felt the need to download anything new since about 2003, and I don't even have a particularly large library.
