@RaffKarva@sunny.garden Hear hear!! I'm a strong supporter of owning the music you listen to by whatever means. I've been weaning myself from all streaming providers for a long while now and host my own library via Plex to stream to my mobile devices, which is an excellent solution, but a lot more fiddly than most users are willing to engage with. Going from physical media to something you can listen to on your phone has gotten more and more difficult as time has marched forward- on purpose, I suspect.

@mawr@plush.city @RaffKarva@sunny.garden what's the trouble? I have been ripping my cds into mp3 for 20 years, nowadays I just do it via iTunes and i can also just pull my bought itunes downloads onto my phone. As my current laptop has no cd drive anymore I bought an usb connected external cd/dvd drive. 40€. It already saved 3 movie evenings due to being code free. The same technology as 20 years ago is available, I listen to my owned music from phone and laptop via Bluetooth speaker (teufel mynd 😉). Works fine!

@mawr@plush.city @RaffKarva@sunny.garden I just listen to music offline at home, but when I'm in the car or walking I listen to podcasts. Not listening to the Prodigy, Rage Against the Machine and QOTSA in the car makes me a better driver anyway.
