That's fine, am a Linux user and not a big deal running a file/media server, also have large enough SD cards, so still not a problem storing music either. I would just like to be able to purchase some new songs just so I can be able to adjust the playlists to something more to my tastes for particular songs over the entire genre or band's albums which can often contain other bands/songs that just bug the living daylights out of me, heh.
I see, well if you're more in the self-hosted side of things other people have given some suggestions that seem like it would work well for your needs.
I used to have a huge collection of music I'd accumulated and only played files locally, but I've gotten lazy over the years and am a Spotify boy now. I will say that it's been irritating me to no end with how bad shuffle is; my main playlist has over 500 songs in it and I know there's at least a hundred or so that I haven't heard in months because Spotify's "shuffle" thinks it knows what I want to listen to more than I do.
