Its not just DVDs. I switched to all local mp3s for music and i get a lot of them by scoring cds from second hand stores.
Never started streaming music, makes no sense music is so collectible on HDD. I have 25 year old files, 128kb sucks lol but survived very easily.
Local library is another great source to get those CDs to rip mp3s
I'm currently working on ripping all my CDs to my old laptop and looking at mp3 players, but only because I don't really want to use my phone storage to hold everything. I was still buying physical CDs of new releases up until a few years ago, but I've gone back to that too.
