My approach is very different, firstly: Storage is local, not on some cloud service. My music is stored on my fileserver, along with my other files. Even uncompressed PCM is cheap enough to store that I see no good reason to convert to a lesser formt, or even convert to a more efficient one.' I'll go for FLAC if available, or WAV or highest bitrate whatever lossy crap alternative. Even with large file support, GIT is not a nice way of storing music, I don't need any of the that git offer here.. My directory structure is "put it somehwere under /data/audio/music" if I have multiple albums from an artist, put it under /data/audio/music/artistname I let my scraper build an inventory from the metadata, when I'm on my own LAN, I run rhythmbox against it, when I'm out, I use a bespoke player to navigate it from fuzzy searching and building play-queues. There's a web-interface so I can play from the browser when at work, and an android app that I can use when I'm on the phone. Deleting things? I do that only when I've acquired a better quality release, or discover dupes. The only "cloud" principle I use is that I view my music collection as a cloud, it's something I search and explore, not a neat overview.. There's no way to have a neat overview of the infinite.
