It's a great time to rebuild a library.

Plex is a bit more polished, but is expensive for all features. There's also another open source project called Jellyfin. Both are great options if you want to make your own streaming media library.

There's this weird disdain for IP in Hollywood. Execs acting like movies are some elevated art form, and it's their mission to bring comics and cartoons to a more sophisticated place.
They dont really care for the source material, they're just strip-mining it for IP.

I do a combo of Qobuz for finding new music, and then I'm building my own library and streaming it with Plex.
The qobuz desktop app isn't great, but I find I'm ok just using the web player in a browser for most cases.

I like Qobuz. They tend to pay license holders better than Spotify or Apple.

Same. I LOVED Play Music.
I subscribe to Qobuz now, but I'm buying more albums directly again.
Currently using Plex to stream my local music collection. It's a fun way to leave Spotify.

I shot a first look at the OnePlus 15, which you can watch here youtu.be/9SpffgyrOxw
It's one of the most powerful phones of NEXT year.

Oh man. It's just as bad in the tech media space too.
