I decided to make the switch from streaming to actually owning my music. I deleted my Spotify account on December 5 2025. I already had a collection going as I've slowly since 2020 or 2021? so I haven't started from nothing. I get my CDs from a variety of places:
I have a 32gb microSD card in my mp3 player. I put a bunch of music from my collection on it and I've made a playlist replacing what would be the 'liked songs' playlist on Spotify. I also listen to music sometimes on my PC cause I've backed up my collection there and I use music bee to listen and media monkey to sort out playlists. At some point when I get more space I think having a multi disc CD player would be pretty cool :))
