Fuck streaming. I've had my local mp3s for decades.
Same. I’ve got most of my downloads on my phone with VLC to play them
If you can get Poweramp player I highly recommend.
Great custom options like: crossfade control, replay gain... so many options.
Damn, I'm jealous, I just started collecting.
I ripped 100s of CDs back at least 2004.
Ah, you hit me right where it hurts.
To be honest, I'm afraid to keep anything, otherwise, imagine, soon your answers on the Internet and political views will influence whether you live or not.
I'm especially afraid that when my computer breaks, I'll have to risk buying new hardware with AI that will spy on me.
My suggestion is buy an old phone that still has a micro SD card. Get your music collection on that as well as your current phone. You then use the old phone with zero service as a music player.
