How do you connect a big harddrive with all your music (in flac) to phone ? A phone would require some kind of service (not free) for streaming the songs. I prefer to have everything on my harddrive (i do not like to lose audio when the network is down).

Whats the benefit of low latency when playing prerecorded music?

singing apps. especially if you're using bluetooth headsets.
Especially if you use Neutron or Poweramp as music players. Android now has special low latency APIs (and the Oboe library - https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/audio/aaudio/aaudio )
Poweramp and Neutron both implement their own low latency code and are very very good. If you connect them to a USB type c (like the FiiO), they are very very good to be used with audiophile grade earphones. UAPP is the other one which boasts compatibility with all the latest dacs and audio chips ... as well as MQA decoding- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd....
or you can use the newer android 11 with bluetooth 5.2 and APTX adaptive (or LDAC) earphones for high quality wireless audio.
Plus, you can stream them on chromecast.
Is there a fundamental reason why people prefer to listen to audio on laptops versus a smartphone ?
