While streaming services offer a lot of convenience to listeners, I still prefer to download my music for offline listening - most important is that I retain ownership of the file; with streaming services, you pay only for access, and access can be revoked. Already, a handful of songs I have downloaded are no longer available online. Unfortunately it's become harder and harder to find high-quality music releases that are readily available for download. More often than not, I have to resort to sites that will rip audio from Spotify/YouTube/SoundCloud, because that's the only place I can find the given piece, and typically that'll come as 128kbps which can be pretty easily noticed. I hope more people push back on the streaming model and encourage artists to sell their music direct. I'll gladly pay an artist for their work but I'd rather not have a middleman (Spotify) involved. --- Interesting to see OP use git as a storage mechanism, I can see it may have some version control benefits, but what about actually playing the music? Do you just click through the file explorer to find the song you want? What about playlists, and other means of categorization?
