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?

You could host Plex on a raspberry pi in your house. Or you could house it on paid for servers like aws.

I moved all mine across to YouTube Music - they have an automatic process that copies it across in the background for you.

The Google curse.

Starting or joining new teams and inventing products "resolving" the exact same problem in order to get noticed and climb the corporate ladder to a Google Fellowship.

How about fixing the stuff you got ???.

Isn’t this a by product of the concept of “impact” linked to most tech corporate ladders nowadays?
