And Netflix and other streaming services, despite supposedly saving us from cable, re-invented cable.

But the good news is, maybe it's time to get the good old iPods/DAPs back into the mainstream again. You can have a big SD card with all the music and podcasts you could ever want without tying yourself to a specific service.

I own quite a lot of mp3s legally. Host them on a 50 dollar raspberry pi with something called Navidrome which uses a protocol called subsonic.

I can stream my own music from my home to my phone etc or anywhere. Otherwise yeah just having them locally is the other best option.
