The streaming music platforms will soon follow the lead of the streaming video platforms and continue to raise their rates
Meanwhile, external hard drives and basic MP3 players are cheaper than ever on Amazon.
Although I still use some of the streaming platforms, I've been slowly rebuilding my analog media collection over the last few years. That includes books, movies, and music.
I wish there were more options for dedicated MP3 players. Everything is either cheaply made or very expensive. Midrange options end up being stripped down Android phones.
