  Directory full of flacs from alt.bin.lossless and what.cd here.

  From the 5 services shown in the graphs, that would be YouTube Music which lets you upload your library (yes, even FLAC).

    Important to note that they don’t stay in FLAC after being uploaded.

    Also, I’m pretty sure you can’t do this anymore.

      Menu option is still there for me

      It opens a file chooser, so I’m guessing it’s just one file at a time now, which is lame.

        I was informed by Google music, when they shut that down and forced everyone on Yt music, that all my uploaded data would be erased.

        I downloaded it all and sorted it into my personal music on my PC.

        May I ask what app you’re using there? I don’t see that on Yt music on Android… At least, I can’t find it if it’s there. Maybe I’m blind.

        I’ll have to look into this. I appreciate the heads up. There’s a few things I’d like to put on my library if I can.

    Yes, but in my experience it is pretty trash. Unlike Google Play Music which matched the music to known tracks and shuffled it in with recommended playlists and other features on YouTube Music the uploaded songs are basically completely isolated. At that point why use a streaming service?

      Yeah it was a hundred times better in GPM.

        Google Play Music was the last streaming service I actually enjoyed.

    Apple and Spotify let you do that too.

      I see that Apple does now, but no indicator of Spotify that I can see. Are you talking about how you can run the desktop app to stream the files on your computer? Because that’s not a digital locker.

        It’s been a while since I used Spotify since I use Apple now.

        I remember being able to add my own music, but maybe it was just local to the computer.

        Apple definitely lets you upload stuff to their servers though.
