I hear you but it is twice the price so I guess you get what you pay for. Maybe external storage may be the way to go. I down load a lot of music but I’ve picked up a couple of drives quite cheaply. About 100 pounds for a 4 tb one and my brother gave me a 1 tb for christmas the other year. We just deleted what was on it as I had moved it to my 4 tb and so I have lots of nice external storage. Love emma
