+title: Doppler, locally stored music and storage as a beneficial constraint

+Over the weekend I moved my music listening to the excellent, macOS native app [Doppler](http://brushedtype.co/doppler/). I’ve spent entirely too much time moving music, [thinking about music](https://coryd.dev/posts/2023/i-dont-want-streaming-music/) and [fiddling with my setup](https://coryd.dev/posts/2023/road-to-madness-apple-music-charts/) for someone that is not an audiophile. But, while making the move and paring down my collection to fit within the local storage I had available, I had time to think about the music I _really_ cared about.<!-- excerpt -->
+
+The benefits of locally stored and played music have remained unchanged for a long time now: it’s your music, your metadata, your artwork you’ve applied and your collection exactly as you’ve arranged it.
+
+The constraints imposed by the local storage on my MacBook Air and my iPhone were what made the process of moving to local playback so fruitful and enjoyable.
+
+I enjoy some jazz, but I _love_ Miles Davis’ discography — so I can simply move the latter and exclude fragments from artists I don’t enjoy to the same degree. I’ve been an avid death metal fan for well over a decade now and my collection had grown to resemble Wikipedia but had far outgrown the size where I could reasonably expect to listen to everything in it or navigate it efficiently.
+
+The same sentiment and exercise carried me through the rest of the genres I listen to and I arrived at a point where I recognize every single artist as I scroll through my library and know exactly which album I want to throw on from them. It’s not an unmanageable sea of music, more a tidy catalogue of artists I love from genres that interest me.
+
+For the longest time when I’ve found a genre I like, I want to absorb _every_ band that’s well-regarded within it but, that impulse doesn’t scale. Music’s a personal thing and forcing myself to reckon with the size of my collection has left it in a much more navigable and, frankly, enjoyable state.
