I’m currently trying to divorce myself from paid streaming services so I’m looking for ideas to pursue. Those of you with huge music collections, what are your solutions for listening at home and on the go? Self-hosted streaming? Modern mp3 player with huge amounts of storage? Modified legacy MP3 player? What are the upsides and downsides? I’m really just looking for what options are out there and if there’s any kind of general consensus on what’s best.

    I buy CDs and encode them myself with Lame or buy from Bandcamp. They live on my computer and I add them to my phone as desired. I also have spotify because tbh you can’t buy everything.

    I used to use Google music for streaming my own files, but they put that into YouTube Music. I can still stream the files I uploaded using the YT music app but it’s clearly not the main intended purpose of the app.
