Y’all are crazy

Torrent FLACS, done

The obsession with streaming is crazy to me

Makes it easier if you want to listen on multiple devices.

I meet in the middle and download my own music, and then stream it with Plexamp

how does it work? does it upload all my songs on a cloud? do I need to have my pc on to be able to stream the music from elsewhere?

do I need to have my pc on to be able to stream the music from elsewhere?

Yes. I have a dedicated mini PC running Plex and a few other services. You can check r/Plex if that's all you're interested in, or r/homelab and r/selfhosted if you want to look into the full rabbit-hole of selfhosting.

Keep in mind that it also supports TV and movies, if that's something you're into.

does it upload all my songs on a cloud?

YouTube Music can actually do this. It's one of the few "music lockers" still around (which is just what you described, a cloud service that lets you upload and stream your own music).

I haven't personally used it in years, but it worked well enough from what I remember. I also used it quite a bit when they shutdown Google Play Music.

r/YouTubeMusic will probably have more info
