Yeah them removing music I listen to cause of licensing bullshit was why I quit Spotify a couple of years ago and went back to buying and pirating music again just like before. Plus I get better audio quality, have like 1 tb of mostly 24-bit Flacs on my NAS with Plex. I do also not have to keep paying more and more for the same content cause they find out they cant keep infinite growth so they squeeze the existing subs for more money instead. Fuck I hate subscriptions in general. The only thing I miss are the mixes and radio cause it made me discover so much new music.

I used to. But in the later years I found it very difficult to carry this much weight. In addition to that, I've realized the transient nature of my music tastes and my over-reliance on music. Also my priorities have changed a lot. Music is far from essential for survival, and when the times get rough (when you move a lot, and all you can take with you is your laptop), it's much easier to access an online library than your own physical one. I've decided to keep the mp3s (m4as, wavs, flacs, etc.) of the songs that aren't on Spotify and remove everything else.
MP3 isn't dead but smells funny. Today I manage a ton of OGM, AAC, FLAC and other formats.
I mean, I use them my prime 4 dj system because i'm not always gonna be sure about internet availability at the next venue. I don't want to DJ for other humans while using my phone as a 5g accespoint.
THATS ME!
