Using VLC is easy. Having good musical taste and finding the time to renew your library so it doesn’t grow stale is hard.
I know, I used to download all my stuff and now I just get YouTube music started on a piece I like and let it autoplay forever while I work, do a tabletop campaign, play videogames… I find that this way, I find the music it plays to be in the right mood 98% of the time.
It disgusts me to say it but it just works and saves me a lot of time.
I guess a big factor would be constant access to the internet on your mobile devices. I usually travel through internet “dead zones” (no cell coverage, wifi, or just in a building that doubles as a Faraday cage), so I find having offline music a lifeline for staving off boredom. That could be why it appeals to me more - plus the whole “they can’t take it away” side.
