I might. If it had delivered what was promised on the other hand...
Three years ago I tried very hard to go wireless+online for music. I diligently uploaded thousands of .flacs to Google Play when I bought my new Nexus. Yet when I was around the house, or taking the dog for a walk, or going to and from work about half of the time there was silence as it was buffering or whatever. This was in Newcastle, not the third world or rural Scotland. I'd have expected much better, like connectivity and enough buffering to play nearly all the time. I'd have expected good enough even somewhere with spotty data coverage.
Around the same time I bought a nice Denon Network Music player for the home system. Paid a good few pounds in the hope of decent midrange quality. Since when, BBC have reduced stream quality, and Last FM radio (the main reason I bought it) was discontinued.
Internet of S* seems fairly accurate then.
Now all my music is back as lossless on FreeNAS, and I have a LAN only app on the phone as remote control. When out with dog, the old ipod nano is good enough and lasts much longer than the Nexus did. The Denon now ranks as pointless waste of money. It plays my freenas archive, but I could do that already.
So for me, my online music experiment is over, and I'm >£500 lighter.
