I picked up an iPod Video last year and could never go back to Spotify. What a mistake that was. With Rockbox installed I can play lossless codexs. With Bandcamp I can actually support artists. Without an infinite library I treasure what I have. When I want something that's not on bandcamp, like for example a live recording of a gig on youtube, theres yt-dlp. And otherwise CDs are cheap. All of this without distractions, without an internet connection, and without draining my phones battery. Spotify was a huge mistake.

I have a similar setup and love it! If you haven't already, check out Plex and Plexamp as a way to listen to your library on your phone & computer. Plexamp gives you lots of Spotify-like features including playlists, streaming & download management on mobile devices, keeping the mood going with similar music (via sonic analysis), etc.

  Also worth trying: Jellyfin and Finamp (phone) / Feishin (desktop) .. or just the built-in web UI.

  Personally, I really just like listening to whole albums, rather than playlists or things of a similar mood. I know I'm old fashioned in that regard, but horses for courses.
