How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?

How do you power your drives on a cross country drive? How do they handle the bumps and the vibrations?

Also, it's rougly the same as why it's easier to pay for streaming services instead of downloading your media or obtaining a physical copy, and managing that.
Don't get me wrong, I don't use neither spofity, netflix, or anything like that, but downloading the media and transferring it to your mobile device is often not that easy, and always takes time, especially the first few times while you're getting used to it. And then also don't forget that a lot don't even have real computers, just a phone, and good luck to connect a hard drive to that

I’ve got a collection of classic iPods — the ones with the clickwheel.

Yes — the files can take time to download and organize and curate but in the end — if I need a thousand hours of audio I can rely on… well, it’s easy and fail proof.
