You know you can just put mp3 files on your phone and play them locally, right?
I store music on my NAS and stream songs using an app that can connect to it. Connect everything to tailscale so I can use it on the go. Works flawlessly.
Which is absolutely unnecessary since a phone can carry an absolute ton of music locally.
I have over a 100 GB of music probably even close to 200 GB. I don’t want to put all that on my phone for obvious reasons. Not unnecessary.
Edit: I low balled it by a lot

How many years of music is that?
Yes
Unless it’s all lossless
this article is less about issues with streaming and more about the author’s impulse control issues.
I left Apple Music and went back to phonograph cylinders.
I’m gonna party like it’s 1877.
That’s funny, I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Music and I play music on that, and I also have Plexamp to play music stored on my Mac, but I also have an old Android phone (Galaxy S10) with a 64GB memory card in it, and my favourite albums are archived to it, and I have Poweramp (paid, bought it over 10 years ago) on it and it’s like my backup iPod kinda thing. It has WiFi but no cellular service. (Oh, I also have Apple Music and Plexamp on the Android phone, too, but it’s also an offline backup.)
