Yeah I can't see myself ever not having local copies of my music. Streaming services just don't cut it. E.g as a music enthusiast I'll often have specific releases/masters of albums etc...

I have my music library backed up on several drives and I've got a subsonic server setup so I can have access to it from anywhere. Best of both worlds imo.

Ah, thanks! I just had a look at Subsonic and it's right up my alley.

I'm slowly transitioning from Spotify to a local file setup and Subsonic looks like the missing piece.

I was considering dropping on a Plex membership but this seems way cheaper and just as decent.
