I get your point in a way. If we get into details of owning different stuff, then yeah, there are pros and cons of this and that.

Btw, I actually set up a server using Raspberry Pi with 1TB of storage for my music collection to be able to access it from anywhere. Funny that you mentioned exactly this case.

Can I ask why you wouldn't use a cloud provider for that? Just curious. If I had a music collection, I would have set up similar to yours along with a linked service to constantly review global trends and check new music that I might like as about 20-60% of the music I listen every week is new relative to previous weeks

I'm not a heavy listener. Most of the time I prefer silence. So I just wanted my music to be accessible when I need it.

As for the recommendations, occasionally I listen to the bandcamp feed. Not even sure if it's based on my followings. And before that I was using one specific forum to learn about new stuff. It's not there anymore. And I don't like the idea of algorithms telling me what to listen to.
