I'm with you; the only thing that makes me keep my MP3s is the fact that the cloud isn't absolutely everywhere. When I run I want a $40 MP3 player and these aren't cloud capable. Otherwise, where ever I am I have high-speed Internet and I don't bother with my MP3s anymore. I do a lot of Pandora. To play music on the big stereo I just use Google Music and the Nexus 7, which connects to the receiver by Bluetooth. I used to curate the music, organize the files, connect to machines via ssh to play them back on different speakers, etc etc. Cheap tablets, cheap phones, Internet everywhere, and music services have killed all that for me. I used to have a Linux PC hooked up to the stereo and I would ssh to it to control playback. Those were the days. Now the Nexus 7 is a far superior device in every way.
