I wrote this yesterday. While I agree that music is moving to the cloud,
I do feel that it's time for the pendulum to swing back the other way.
Cloud services continue to be increasingly risky from a security
perspective. Userid/password management is getting more and more complex
and diffuse, and the "ownership" of hardware is becoming increasingly
questionable where it uses cloud services. I've had absolutely horrid
service from ring.com in the last couple of months.

Home automation is so fragmented its hardly worth trying to do anything
with. Keeping in the game via some form of hardware player would still
be a good idea IMHO.
