Jonas WisserI truly can't express right now how mad I am about music streaming generally and the absolute decay of Apple's iTunes ecosystem in favor of Apple Music specifically.
Do yourself a favor: own a copy of your music. Don't use a streaming service.

As a long time Apple/NeXT user, I agree 100% about the #Enshittification of the Music app. The problem of ‘unwanted substitution' is real and extremely annoying. To this I would add the problem of music which is not on the Apple system requiring multiple efforts to upload before it can work on the existing player. The oncoming enshittification of Bandcamp and the eventual fusion of macOS and iOS clearly indicates that things are only going to get worse for us music nerds.

highway2009@highway2009 @aeshnid The whole point is to *not* stream music, but keep it locally on all my devices. Thanks tho
@aeshnid @jwisser Flacbox will also work to play music locally. Then to sync your music without a third party cloud provider you could use #syncthing, which is p2p.
