#2> Holding music, either in your hand or on a personal hard drive, is a relic of Obama-era music consumption.
How is this true in any sense?

While I am not a huge music listener, it is largely true for me.
Spotify launched in 2008. I signed up for an account in 2009. Since then I have bought physical/downloadable music only a handful of times.
I am an avid podcast listener which occupies a chunk of my phone hard drive most days.

#5I'd settle for decent nested playlists and/or tagging coupled with reasonable discovery. Hypem used to be okay for discovery but has been gamed to death.

I never used much physical media (napster generation), but I still keep a local music collection on hard drive. I tried cloud options but it's simply a horrible experience when travelling, which is where I spend most of my time listening to music.
General problems that aren't going away soon are the latency between clicking next and the song starting is way too high, especially annoying when you shuffle through a few songs at once. And I've only got 2GB of data a month, so I need to cache locally anyway, killing most of the benefits. The absolute worst thing is that you're tied to the shitty players that cloud-music companies produce.
Some google music specific problems were using tonnes of data even when I'm just playing cached files and things like hitting the next button twice in a row will give random results depending on which web request comes back first. I'm sure it works fine on the google campus though.
For the foreseeable future I'll be sticking with poweramp and music on SD.

That's not really the idea that I'm repulsed by. I'm repulsed by the bizarre notion that music format eras should mention a political leader for any reason. It's like saying records really started declining after Nixon (or whenever/whoever is most appropriate, I'm not sure of the timing). It isn't necessarily incorrect, it's just categorically wrong to bring that information into the same thought.

#8This premise is ridiculous.
Just visit https://youtubemp3.rip/ or any of the other thousand sites that do this.
Or, you can just record the music as you listen to it using Audacity for example, and save them as an MP3 or any other format.
Of course, these tasks require about a minute of minimal effort. In our fast paced modern world of music streaming, who has time to load up an audio program and hit Record? Or type in a Youtube URL and hit Convert? I'm sure the blog author cant be bothered with such things.
....I remember recording cassette tapes off of the radio! Sitting there as a child, waiting Hours for That Song.
How times have changed, and for the better!

I first thought of the Japanese custom of naming time periods after Emperors.

Obama served 2009-2017, so your annectdote contradicts your point?
