Is streaming or having your own music library better? (lemmy.world)

I'm in a dilemma, I think ownership of media is important, but the convenience of Spotify and the algorithm of new music that it suggests has helped me find amazing artists that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise.

Fellow sailors, what are your thoughts, and how do you personally listen to music?

Streaming for discovery, private tracker to get it in FLAC.

I have Ampache running on a self hosted server, which has desktop and mobile apps.

I don't know why you were down voted but thanks for this. I'm doing some research on it now. So here take this upvote

Maybe its a generational thing but I prefer having a Plex / Plexamp serveur with all my music as FLAC on my home server. I can better curate my collection and it's available everywhere.

Plexamp is awesome, and the UI/UX is gorgeous in my opinion!

I stream because I like discovering new artists that I don’t know about. Otherwise keeping everything on a drive is probably better considering that you have full control over it.

This totally depends on YOU and how you consume music. I am an analog collector who has a small collection of cassette tapes and vinyl to play at home for gatherings. But then I have spotify for the car and for showering lol.

I have a smart TV with ReVanced so I don't get commercials/ads on YouTube and can play music there too.

Spotify to find artists

Plex/VLC/winamp to continue listening after discovering them.
