Keep them. There is a train of thought...

...that one day with an all online digital media, certain titles will be turned "OFF" for whatever reason. This could be for any numerous reasons, but if your digital provider, for whatever reason they desire, decides you shouldn't be listening to that song, artist, genre, you no longer have access to it. And if they have exclusive rights to it, it's gone. Same goes for any digital content whether it's music, software, literature, etc.

If you physically have it in your possession, they cannot take it from you.
