Yeah I don't want to be one of those guys, but even streaming is something I'd recommend moving away from. These days I only boy media that lets me keep an actual file that I can put on a media server and then I stream to my devices over WiFi from that.

Not to make it sound like I'm judging you at all. This is pretty new for me and it took me a few years to fully transition over.

I'm mostly done with video streaming but music discovery is still something I'm exploring. I got some good leads, just need some time to try them out.

But then there's the separate issue of devices that can act as media renderers over LAN when attached to a TV screen and/or speakers. It's not easy to find such devices that are capable, non-expensive and respect privacy.
