Hello, I was looking for music storage.
So here's the issue. I have over 5gigs of songs. Galaxy s6 unfortunately lacks a SD-card slot so I'm limited in internal hd space as it is. I regret buying galaxy s6 due to lack of sd-card, but it is 2yrs too late lol.
I got sick of listening to ads on spotify so I currently use Amazon music included with Prime, but I can only host up to 250 of my own songs, which is simply not enough. Another problem with Amazon music is they add/remove albums often, which drives me insane. I find small chunks of my music accessible one month and not the next - there is Amazon music unlimited but is too expensive on top of prime. I think they tease you and then trick you into either upgrading account or buying the song as a marketing ploy.
Is there any decent alternative to spotify and amazon music? I would love music cloud where I can host my own music and listen without ads, but I don't see such an option out there. I could download mp3s and upload entire playlist to my phone, but that would eat up 5gigs on my phone (remember, no sd-card on galaxy s6).
So... my options are a) cloud storage and listening directly that way, b) local storage but a way other than SD-card, c) another option I haven't thought of yet..
I do see a wireless flash drive.. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Wireless-Smartphones-Computers-SDWS4-032G-G46/dp/B00ZCFYT5K .. Dunno how well it works with very average reviews.. Also traditional usb stick https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GBUltra-Drive-SDDD2-032G-GAM46-Black/dp/B01CVOLBPK
