    So you don’t listen to music unless you’re at home? Or do you choose a subset of your library to put on your phone? That would be terribly annoying for me.

      In my case, a self hosted streaming server works wonders. Plex with Pleaxamp, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Airsonic, any of them will stream to your phone while out and about.

        That will work great if you live your entire life in cities.

        I spend a lot of time in places with no cell service.

          I live in the rural midwest with spotty cell service. All of those services support manual offline syncing to store music on your phone. I set Plexamp to stream lossy over cellular, and it doesn’t take long to cache an entire playlist when I do have a signal.

              What problem? 200 tracks times 4mb/track equals 1Gb. If you can’t spare a couple gigs of storage, you need to delete some apps off your phone.

                  And I said offline syncing a playlist (1-2Gb), not 400Gb. Max 1-2Gb. I have 1.8Tb of music that I can stream in the rural midwest at any given moment providing I have a signal, and about 3Gb synced to my phone when I don’t have a signal. Plex is smart enough to buffer the next few song in your playback queue so it will play seamlessly through bad cellular coverage. Spotify and Tidal work the same way. Is selecting a subset of Spotify’s catalog annoying?

                    I’ve never used those streaming services and that’s literally one of the reasons why. You’re back to the same problem.

      Plex or other local system streaming service, you know, using the tech that’s existed for over a decade now?

      No need to store jack shit on my device unless I know I’m going to a low reception area m

      Yes, I listen to music and podcasts everywhere. I use airsonic-advanced, currently.

      It’s easy bro just maintain a server with redundant disks and a reverse proxy so you can stream music over your unlimited cellular data connection that I’m totally sure you have access to in your region.
