@t0maz@floss.social Well it does not cover my vinyl collection. But I have a huge percentage of it also digital.
You are right, I own the music, but I have to play for my homeserver, when storage has to be replaced and for the electronic bill also the effort to host everything on my own, which means next to the hardware the time that I invest to keep it secure.
Maybe you can live with streaming services since most of the artists you listen to will be still available, even if some aren't or aren't anymore.

@momo@floss.social In our case we’re storing other data on server anyway, photos, videos important documents etc. so adding #Navidrome and a bit more storage wasn’t big diff. Server is low power and passive cooled, few spinning rust HDDs are making negligible difference in power bill but owned files won’t dissapear due to legal difficulties between content/streaming provider and publisher/artist. Streaming services are great for finding new artists/music though!
