Yes, I still keep a huge library of MP3/FLAC for music, and play it through my PC which has a full 5.1 stereo setup, or with Jellyfin if I want it in the living room on the home theater setup. I had Spotify and Slacker subs many years ago but ran into too many situations where I couldn't use them and gave up on streaming music.
I use yt-dlp or Lidarr to acquire new stuff these days if the artist doesn't have a direct sale method (if they do, I buy it there). And I don't feel an ounce of guilt. Part of this is because most of the music I listen to is really old, but the other part is because the artists receive almost nothing when you buy their music from the labels. I'm talking a few pennies on a $15 purchase. Go to a single one of their concerts and they'll receive far more of your money than they ever would if you bought their entire discography.
I considered a Sonos system years ago but added them to my mental blacklist when they started bricking people's equipment remotely.
I have barely anything to add to that. Awesome thoughts. Sonos has since fallen out of grace with me as well (same as apple) but I own both brands still since I don't throw things away if I can help it and exchanging them rn would only hurt me. So I try to make do until the very last moment and then I will switch. I'm stubborn like that.
Speaking of old music: I'm a violinist and mostly listen to bach (mostly performed by hilary hahn). I have visited two of her concerts and plan on buying her album(s) on vinyl once I get wifi on my vinyl player. Other than that its mostly CCR. So old music is my favorite as well.
Thank you very much for elaborating. I'll see to it that I at least have a fall back library soon. :)
