I must be one of the only millennials to never use Spotify. I used Deezer for a while because I got that for free for year with a Samsung phone many years ago. I still have boxes full of actual CD's in the basement...

I have never used Spotify

Me neither. Everyone around me does, sharing playlists like it's a new standard, it drives me mad.

You transfered your CDs to a computer, right?

I did, but I recently lost the disk it was all on. It was one of six connected drives during a system upgrade and of course it was the only one to be damaged. I'll have to find time to rip all of them again at some point.

I specifically use a phone that still supports MicroSD because I have 147gb of music in FLAC format that I ripped myself from my CD collection that I keep on my phone. The only music streaming I've ever used is free trials of Amazon music and tidal and I thought they both sucked.

Funny thing is, I'm in need of a new phone and there are so few options that accept an SD card that I was actually considering ditching my music collection for Spotify after all these years. I've also noticed that for some reason US versions of phones always have way less storage than their global counterparts. What's up with that.

I just stream my music.

I run my own Jellyfin instance ;)

Server costs: 7€/month (and it does much more than just Jellyfin)

I still burn CD's to listen to them in my 2009 car.
