I really want to ditch spotify, but its just so convenient to be able to search and stream music on any device at a moments notice. Not to mention the fact that its integrated with a music player that can quickly queue up, or add to playlist a searched song. Is there any software (or collection of software) that can emulate the convenience of spotify?
I disagree, if you’re storing your music in MP3 or any other lossy format, such as AAC or Ogg Vorbis, with a bitrate of 320kbps, a 4 minute pop song will take up 10MB of storage in my experience. 32GB of storage is going to get you storage for 3200 songs.
Maybe that isn’t enough for you, but I’ve been using a 64GB SD card for years now and it still hasn’t filled up completely. I’ve got 1557 songs on there, good for 3 days and 7 hours of music, taking up 27.80 GiB of space. Less than I told before, but I tend to store most of my music as FLAC with average filesizes of 30MB per song because I’m to lazy to re-encode the files.
I wonder what the size of your music library is if it doesn´t fit on a SD card.

My current music library sits at 2.4TB.
I personally host it alongside my Movies and TV Shows library on Plex, and sync a portion of it using PlexAmp.
That’s impressive! In that case, I can imagine using your phone’s storage or MicroSD being very impractical, although for tiny music libraries it certainly is a less complex option than the server-client setup.
