Considering Spotify just privatized piracy, figure Ill just do it myself and give my $15 or whatever to some actual artist.

Tips and tricks to ease the transition? Im on android/windows

    I personally find/torrent or buy my music so I can get physical files. Bandcamp is fantastic for that. I like being able to edit them if I want to use them for anything, and I can make sure they're archived, as well as share with my friends.

    It's not done yet but I want to setup my own file server cloud thing so I can put it all there and share it with my friends or in response to requests, I have a bunch of pretty hard-to-find things now.

      I think this is the final form for me, too, as I move away from Spotify. I own a couple of records and its fun to own a copy of the music. I've heard Plex is the move for this.

        I have so much music physically now (about 35.000 tracks I think) that i'm wondering what would be a good way to share it or collaboratively maintain a huge archive with others, but without getting into trouble.

          probably not to the general public, but plex can let you set up accounts (iirc) and you could basically set up your own private streaming service. either eat the cost, or collect small funds from your friends/family. maybe even share with some comrades :soviet-bashful:
