    I hate subscription services, for the cost of a Spotify subscription I can but one or two CD albums a month.

    I buy a vinyl here or there but just to collect. I listen to my CDs.

      I tried Spotify but it only has about 70% of the albums in my collection. I used to love google play music because you could upload your media and it would be included in your library.

        I liked Google play too. I was not pleased when they moved to YouTube music and made accessing your own music a total pain in the balls.

            Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out

            Edit: It needed me to sign up with an email address and I saw it had in app purchases that put me off a bit. But when looking for that app I found Musicolet which looks pretty perfect, just a simple ad free music playing app without all the bollocks!

              the in app purchases are mainly if you want to buy PlexPass which unlocks additional features. I bought the lifetime pass years ago when it was on sale for $75 so I can’t quite remember which features require plex pass. Its primarily for video but the music section with Plexamp on my phone and laptop is a nice little bonus.
