Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome

I started with Navidrome, then looked at the disk space occupied by my library and it occured to me that 1TB MicroSD cards are a thing now, and I can listen to all my library offline.

A few years ago, I set up a home-server with music and some pictures on there, and recently I noticed that my storage disk was getting full. Then I saw that the disk only had 16 GB and wondered, where the hell I got that small of a disk from.
So, I go to plug in a bigger disk and can’t even find the original disk at first. Turns out my whole storage capacity was one of these bad boys:
Spoiler
A tiny USB-A stick, designed for keeping it plugged into a laptop at all times.
And yeah, I’ve got about 1800 songs, clocking in at 5.8 GB, so even that tiny storage would easily be enough for a much larger collection.
And I do also have them replicated on my phone, for listening on the go. (Don’t even need an SD card in my case.)

Haha, server grade hardware. Impressive, actually, that it survived so many years. I have a similar one in my car and it’s 10+ years old and works okay, but another one that’s permanently sticked in my server with an emergency boot image died when it was needed the most.
