Use a streaming service and be stolen from by record labels due to stupid licensing issuesģ. Break the law and steal directly from artists and audio techsĢ. I would prefer to not have to worry about keeping multiple backups locally, and instead just be able to listen to whatever I pay for online, but the only true solution to getting the licensing issues fixed is through the court system, and that doesn't look like it's going to be changing any time soon.ġ. I feel it's a decent offset of clarity by the site owners, high quality audio, good selection, and reasonable prices. I like using 7Digital, but they do make a point of warning you that anything you buy, you can listen to on their cloud player, but might be taken off due to licensing reasons.

I would recommend going with a service that allows you to locally download the music you pay for.
The ones that don't follow the agreements are probably illegitimate.Īssuming you don't want to steal via TPB, etc. All of these popular cloud services are untrustworthy precisely because they are following the licensing agreements. If there is a service that would support this in the way you're asking, they would probably be in violation of some sort of agreement. There's not really a guarantee, because of the nature of how licensing works. With a streaming provider you fork over a few bucks a month and listen to whatever they have in their library.Ĭloud music without outside intervention? No, not really. This is really a hobby at this point, not a convenience. I use ZFS with redundancy, and take regular snapshots but I also make occasional backups to external drives but I could also use something like S3 as well. If I purchase albums from providers like BandCamp or Ototoy, I then need to make sure the metadata matches what I've decided to go with. It's a little more painful with Japanese character sets e.g. Managing metadata: For example, I've some CDs that were ripped as "TALKING HEADS", others as "Talking Heads".
Scanning the CD album art which I've done for some rarer albums in which I could not find artwork for online (or what I did find was blurry and over compressed) Or often there are multiple matches and I have to find the right one. Also I have no shortage of CDs with incorrect metadata in the CD databases or don't exist in the CD databases. Ripping CDs, then moving files over to the main dataset takes time, not a lot but it is a thing.
And Koel is great but, if I ever decide to move to another utility I'll probably lose playlists or have to convert them over.

But I like the ability to have them offline as well. I also manage a Koel instance so I can stream the files from wherever I want. As I add new songs to the main dataset, I'll have to sync them over to the phone. I recently copied my library onto an SD card for a new phone, which had a new media player, which then had to re-index them all. There is a non-zero amount of "care and feeding" that goes into it. Spotify is no better as my songs in their library have disappeared a couple of times as well. That got me thinking - Is there a reliable paid service where I could just upload MY music I legally purchased and they wouldn't be deleted just because of some stupid location based licensing or some other reason? I tried it a couple of times and this was still the result.Īpparently some songs aren't licensed for my location/country and/or aren't available in the catalog of Apple music for my country and therefore they were all deleted except the ones that Apple already has in their catalog. In just an hour, iTunes Match (a feature of the paid Apple Music subscription) tried to match the songs and deleted almost all of them and just left 3 songs in my playlist. I also have the paid Apple Music subscription which I pay for monthly. I was very happy and saw to it that all the audio files were uploaded.

I purchased a bunch of audio CDs and Apple Music (the Mac app) offered to rip it and save it into my iCloud library.
