I recently cancelled my streaming service subscription for music and shifted back to my vinyl collection (which I've been digitalizing for office listening) and buying cds. Yes, it takes me more time to get the music I want to listen, but I spend more time and effort listening and exploring what is going on in the music scene. This actually made me more connected to the music I'm currently listening, because every purchase is worth something and before buying I tend to read reviews and articles about the artists who produced the music.
For me, the best playlists are the ones written by the long-standing institutions, like Hardwax[0], Berghain[1] and Resident Advisor[2].

- sotojuan 10y agoI'm currently thinking about transitioning back to good-old MP3s. I'm not a digital hoarder but I like the idea of small, local collection of music and films I like. Unfortunately I'm on a laptop with a small amount of storage, so maybe a NAS type of thing?
- pimeys 10y agoWe have a NAS at home with two big spinning disks in a RAID array and I store all my stuff there in a flac format, which is easily packed to mp3 if needed. Also I'd give a big recommendation for http://stylejukebox.com/ http://stylejukebox.com/ as a cloud backup and a way to stream the music you own.
