> I have terabytes of pirated music

That’s funny. I have much less music locally and that’s why I like listening to it over streaming services.

The cloud may have terabytes and terabytes of all kinds of music, but 99.99% of that does nothing for me.

The music I have purchased and curated locally is my collection and I know I like everything there. It’s a guaranteed 100% match.

I use cloud streaming only to discover new acts and albums, and then it’s right back to Plex.

but every new piece of music you had to have heard the first time.

Sure. But I’m not going to bother buying (or in worst case pirating) music before I know it’s worthwhile having in my curated collection.

I’m not using local stuff for discovering new music. That’s what’s the internet is for.
