I'm too cheap to get an unlimited data account and I don't want to use up my mobile data. I have a separate ipod touch for my music, so it frees up space on my actual phone, so if one gets broken/lost/stolen, I'm not completely out of everything. Plus, I like the idea of actually "owning" my stuff, as much as you can own digital files. After my Dad passed, I picked up all his mp3s he had saved and merged them into my library, so I also like the idea of potentially passing on this collected library to my kids (if they care enough or the world hasn't transitioned completely to streaming music when I die).

Even though I got files of many differing audio types, the feeling is still mutual. No dealing with ads or paywalled/removed features on Auxio on my phone or Strawberry Music Player on my desktop.

The amount of song has only been going up since I got my first smartphone in highschool and it feels good having them stored on my phone/desktop for local playback.

Is this some kind of sweet water joke, I'm too pirate to understand?

To this day I do my own personal MP3 mixes 😏

Does no one still use Winamp and midis?

Managing a library now is easier than ever. Managing mp3s specifically is a very odd choice though

I wonder if I still have my Creative Nomad Jukebox somewhere... came out in 2000. Was the size and shape of a portable CD player so it fit in the same kind of cases. Took normal AA batteries. Had a 6 GB capacity, which was insane in 2000. I had a huge number of MP3s on it. Many radio dramas. I wish I still had them elsewhere.

Meanwhile me still listen some songs locally (self host Jellyfin) because some songs that I listen are not available on Spotify :/

Thinking about to reencode my collection to opus but "too lazy" as my ripped collection are 320kbps mp3 to save space.

1.5Tb and counting, where my data hoarders at?

I noticed Jellyfin can do music as well, but not really used it much. Need to get myself a mini PC as a server at some point. Seems a bit wasteful leaving a full desktop running just for that.
