I always have (stayed woth MP3s) but its harder and harder to even listen to them away from a phone. Major issue I have now is it’s a PITA to play a local library on networked speakers (Echo, specifically) w/out voice interaction being the sole means of use. I just want a tablet with a nice interface to allow me to play music on various Echo’s and speaker sets.
Bluetooth is an option, but it’s not really “home automation” setup friendly.
I went back to good ol MP3 files about a year ago in an effort to lower montly subscriptions and the tiktokification of spotify was a big reason why.

Jellyfin/plex/Navidone as a backend, synfonium as the app.
I dont use echo, but it has casting and upnp support so it should work with echo.
What do you mean with ‘tiktokification of Spotify’?
I stopped using Spotify at least a few years ago because they started serving adverts to paying customers - so I’m out of the loop.
