I really want to go this route. Had Spotify, tempted to get Tidal but I don't want to deal with content coming and going anymore. I have about 300 gigs of random MP3s, and Flac files. I want to obtain more and move over fully to flac. Any recommendations on making the transition back to locally stored music.

    I gave up on trying to sort my initial batch and just started replacing.

    First I try to find a full discography of an artist by a solid release group (for example "PEMEDIA or "88"). With those you can just copy the entire folder into the artist directory and plex/jellyfin etc will perfectly detect it. Then just add new albums as they are released.

    You can probably find a converter that will rip those files from Youtube for you. I did mine a year and a half ago. If I open Spotify it's just to see the playlists they made for me, because those are actually pretty good, but I rip those files and store them too.
