I am so happy about my MP3 collection from the last ~20 years. And vinyl is back, that’s a win as well. Who needs datacollecting-streaming-ad-services?
I had stopped collecting MP3s in the late 00s when Spotify first became a thing, but then a couple years ago I decided to drop streaming and modernize my digital collection (replace most MP3s with FLAC). Plexamp is a really good mobile music player, and on desktop I use Foobar2000.
When I want to listen to something new I use YouTube Music, which is ass but comes with my premium subscription. If I think I’ll listen again to that music I sail the high seas for the FLACs.
Overall has made me more intimately connected to my collection, doesn’t feed Spotify a dime, and guarantees lossless quality. Took a bit of effort but was worth it.
