i have a total of 512GB of storage in my Phone already, but my dad has repeatedly run into the storage limit of his 256GB phone. he's not even that into music, and he stores his music compressed.

i can see all of the songs i listen to now taking up more than 300GB easily in lossles. plus i would be able to access the music from my phone as well as my PC without having to store duplicates, and having cross-platform playlists.

there's a lot of benefit with streaming, and self-hosting is becoming more accessible by the day. if you have the bandwidth, i see no problem as long as your provider doesn't fuck you over (which is on the horizon for spotify, we aren't getting lossless and the prices are going up regardless)

just photos and some videos and somehow my 256gb is always struggling for space. I'd kill for an SD slot

that's the perks of a phone company who keeps good design decisions going, except for the headphone jack. i will never forgive Fairphone (still bought the 4, sooo...)
