What do y'all listen on?

I was on Google Music for years—they let you upload 50k tracks free, which meant streaming my library on mobile. Unfortunately I got into the sloppy habit of giving up torrents and hard files for the one-click "Add to library" of a streaming service, and now, with Google Play shutting down for good, I'm homeless and with half my library about to be lost. I want to do it right this time around, something more sustainable.

Tempted to go back to Foobar2k or something comparable, but then I gotta get selective about what's sync'd on the phone. Or, I could use a streaming service for mobile listening, and keep hard copies separate, but then I have two libraries, constantly out of sync and keeping separate playlists/stats!

It's quite the dilemma, I've been brooding for months and can't get myself to act in any one direction.

Since forever. Fuck the cloud.

BTW what is it about foobar that people like so much? All the customisation?

what about when you wanna listen on a commute, or a bike ride, or walkin around the block, or at the beech, or smokin a fattie under a tree?

yeah, partly joking with that (although I do still use my turntable). I do as patty says: go to bandcamp or occasionally iTunes, buy tracks or albums I like and load them into iTunes on my phone, easy peasy. I have a weird aversion to streaming services, still hate how they've bankrupted artists and somehow got everyone to accept their slave-labor royalty scheme.
