Yeah, I have gigabytes of music on my phone and just keep it all locally and use VLC. Problem solved.
Since I don't have Google or Google Play services and only use open-source apps, I get very few notifications. And those I do get, I actually care about.
Same here. Moved away from Spotify and store the music straight on my phone. I use Poweramp to play and manage the library, which has excellent Android Auto support as well. And I use the Seeker app to use Soulseek straight on the phone. I also convert to Opus using Ffmpegme to save space as I don't need lossless on my phone and a 128 kbps Opus file sounds just as good as a 192+ kbps mp3.
