Or you can just plug your laptop/tablet into your speakers and play your local music collection.

  > and play your local music collection The local collection that I stopped expanding three years ago because I was now paying for a streaming service. Clearly, it's a trade-off. I don't miss paying vast amounts for a CD that might at best have one or two tracks that I really like plus a load of fillers. I've discovered a lot of music that I wouldn't have found otherwise thanks to streaming. But I worry for some of my older relatives who can barely navigate a smartphone interface, and for whom setting up the streaming on a modern device is a hit and miss affair.

    > The local collection that I stopped expanding three years ago because I was now paying for a streaming service. I know that feeling. When what.cd went down it was a tragedy but I was able to continue mostly as normal. I even "slimmed down" my collection to make it more portable, which was a mistake because all of the classics on streaming services are fucking remasters. God, I miss those days of music forums. My music discovery hasn't had half the same intensity or wonder since those years. Now what, Spotify playlists? Their shitty nerfed "radio" playlists? I miss music forums and trackers dearly. There's reddit but it's not quite the same.
