"tutorial" on computer music servers

I have a very small disc collection at present, (less than 40).
I'm noticing that especially older rock and some jazz music I'm interested in buying, is no longer available as new (CD)s, in stores.
That the CD format in general, is on it's way out (?).
Forcing consumers to download music off the internet (?).
Therefore, someone in my situation, shouldn't buy a high quality CD transport, but rather buy a computer and subscribe to one or more of these online music servers (?).

Check out Bryston BDP-1 or BDP-2. It's basically a transport for digital music.

Just connect external USB Drive with your music to the Bryston. Since music is loaded into memory before play, quality of USB cable will not effect sound quality. Then connect the Bryston to your DAC.

There are many options where you can install an internal drive, control with iPad/iPhone ...

It's pricey so you pay for convenience/plug and play. Google reviews for more info.

I also recommend DLNA but requires some computer knowledge.
