For someone that was using GMusic as an online store of my own digitalised albums, what would be the alternative, to have something distributed that could stream across device?

I host a Jellyfin server, personally. Jellyfin is a FOSS fork of Emby Media Server from before they went closed source.

I am planning on cancelling our family plan too. Most of tracks that I have listened are falling victims to a "loudness war". I guess they have re-encoded all of them with new settings. Now it is much more loud on YM to the point that I cannot make it lower - it is minimum settings on each possible volume control. I value my hearing more. Also, all these little notes that I have put on some tracks here and there will…

I don't think the Pixel 4 is relevant here. They discontinued it, but they're still supporting it for 3 years just as if they'd kept producing it.

The standard Google shutdown gives you maybe a monta to rescue all your data before it vanishes into the abyss.
