Only 20? What is this, amateur hour?

Wdym?? That's like over 5000+ songs on the dang app. That's a lot of storage for a freaking music app.

I'm getting close to 36k songs. VLC on my phone is using 254GB.

I started ripping my CDs as soon as hard drives got big enough to fit them, then switched to buying mp3's digitally.

Never got on the streaming/Spotify bandwagon because these services never have every album I have/want.

I remember having an actual CD player when my parents used to buy all our music; went from that to the iPod touch (before it being lost forever). After that my first streaming service I used was Pandora and I used them for years until now when going fully degoogled. (App kept completely crashing after I got off of Google). Well thats one problem with streaming, another is the storage, subscriptions, annoying ads and some only work online (unless you pay for a subscription).

My local music storage is sitting at 225 GB. I don't stream music, I refuse to pay monthly for something that's already mine.

If you are on android try it for yourself, Offline and ad free.

You could still stream from your own music library.

But yeah, with just 20GB of music you might as well just store it directly on your device and play it from there. Still a hassle if you are using multiple devices and want to keep your collections in sync.

With trebel music, I would have to pay for a monthly subscription to truly download to listen to all of that music. I might as well just buy the albums and put in in a SD card. I think I'm just getting tired of streaminf, the ads that comes with it and the amount of space it consumes.

Wait until you go deep down that rabbit-hole of self-hosting...

RIP your flash memory.

Ive barely touched it. I'm trying that first with Jellyfin to see how I can handle it ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Can't relate, as I listen from Bandcamp quite a lot, and neither NewPipe nor my browser take gigabytes of space to do it. And when I'm offline I have podcasts and audiobooks instead so I don't have to deal with streaming apps.

What is Trebel? Their page is very vague and doesn't really offer an explanation

Trebel music is an app for streaming music with very limited ads. You can also put your music form your MP3 player on there as well. It's not open source software and most of its features come from paying a subscription if wanting to truly go offline, but you can't download the music to your phone when doing so.
