after last night's rant about apple

I''ve done much reading and watching of vids, messed around with settings and such

it's just the nature of modern IP services

companies don't sell anything anymore and the cloud is not storage, it's just subscription and data transfer services , when we put what we own on the cloud it becomes their property or is deleted/ignored

time to get inventive

I have bought some adaptors.

I have some usb sticks.

I have an android.

I have a PC.

I have determination.

lets see if I can save hundreds of music albums I have on my old iphone, and I must do it as the battery really is becoming unsafe.
