I recently tried to get some self hosted music going, using old CDs I had for example. It’s such a hassle moving things over, even when the automated software tags the files correctly (which only happened half the time)
TV and movies are easy enough to manage your own files for, because it’s a lot more organized and categorizable. With music it’s a mess, and not something worth doing for me.
Also I listen to so much music that it’s nice being able to let it fetch similar music for hours and hours.
