Right, but considering that OP is already running a media server and also is looking for a way to curated his library, I don’t see how switching to on-device storage would be anything but a downgrade.

So you only listen to music on one device? If not, do you swap the SD card between devices all the time or do you have a separate SD card for all devices? How do you keep them in sync, transfer playlists, etc? What if you have more than 2TB?

Yeah, go local as in: Run your own media server and stream from that.

But only keeping music files on the end device is a step in the wrong direction.

Really depends on whether we’re talking 0.33l oder 0.5l.

Can someone explain the watermelon in the banner?
