I've collected music and copied my own music onto my phones and PCs for years and never stopped. Everything the major app & OS makers have done in recent years appears to be intended to discourage music collection now that bandwidth has me converted into a measurable utility.

Even audio apps play games with how they function now in order to encourage paid upgrades to where simple "randomize", "skip", and playlist creaton no longer work as expected... I miss winamp on android more than words can say... Google's music player even stealthily deleted my purchased mp3s off my device at points, I am lucky to keep non-cloud (unplugged) SD backups of my music library ritually up to date. I will never give up keeping my own collection as long as I can... The Algorithms serve advertised music, not really the music you want to hear, and it's only gonna get worse over time.

Nothing beats my music collection, it spans across multiple genres that no algo could ever emulate, and that no single site would ever be able to clear, and I don't believe I should ever have to pay a monthly subscription for music, let alone music that I already have, I guess It's not popular opinion any more.

Music streaming sites do nothing to earn the money they make and that people give them, and they don't pay artists fairly at all... I write this as an artist myself.
