That's why you run your own "cloud" music service. Personally I use Subsonic, and it is amazing. http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp
I used to run Subsonic, now I'm loving http://plexapp.com and the (paid) iOS app. I'm also an Rdio and Netflix subscriber, but running Plex on my server allows me to 'roll my own Netflix' and stream movies and music to my iPad or other computers, or even from my server to any computer in the web browser. I'm happy.

Why did you switch from Subsonic to Plex? I don't know how long, I've been using Sunsonic - maybe 4 or 5 years - and don't really have any reason to switch...just curious what made you swtich.
I just switched back to Winamp after getting fed up with the latest release of iTunes. At least it's a real application that I can download and own for myself, and doesn't stop working just because it's no longer being supported. This is a great example of why I don't move all my data to the cloud, or use browser-based apps for things that matter to me. Hopefully they'll release the codebase to the world.
Why winamp? my understanding is that it's long been surpassed by other apps, i.e. foobar, even VLC
Isn't XMMS still around? That looks a hell of a lot like winamp. http://www.xmms.org/
I don't know what the status of XMMS2 is, but it's a client-server model like MPD.
The GTK2 fork of XMMS, Beep Media Player, is reported by Wikipedia to be discontinued; the BMPx fork of BMP has also been removed Debian. Audacious is another Linux music player with Winamp skin support, it is actively maintained.
Perhaps somebody should do a Winamp2-compatible MPD client for nostalgia purposes.

Ah yes, the old "sync 600GB of MP3s onto a 32GB device" trick.
Yes because you really need 600GB of mp3s which on the back of an envelope calculation is over 1000 days of listening for 8 hours a day at a reasonable bitrate with no repeats... I'm sure, at amazon prices which is a fair approximation including CDs, you didn't spend $100,000 on them either. This is really not a problem. Well it is but only greed created it.
