i realized i’m a big local music enjoyer, all the music i listen to is stored in files and i even have vlc on my phone to listen to it. (all of them are legally downloaded of course!!) sadly yesterday i moved all those files to my chromebook and it really slowed it down, (the files total 1gigabyte, woa). so why not get an mp3 player?? that can save storage on my phone and chromebook.

by the way i did try youtube music one time but i realized, what if youtube music disappeared?? all the music would be gone! so yea that’s why i prefer local files

    You could go all out fancypants and set up your own streaming service. The advantage is that you can set it all up on an old pc or even a raspberry pi with an external hdd. You can than stream all your music to your phone and chromebook via some app like plex or jellyfin. It’s super convenient. The disadvantage is that it’s a bit technical to set up. It takes some research and some tweaking. But there’s no hurry, so you could look it up some time, see if it’s something your willing to reasearch and if it is, you can go further from there. It eventually took me a full weekend to set up my whole streaming suite (not just music), but I spent dozens of evenings researching it before. Only setting up a plex server should take too long.
