What is everyone using to play music in their MME other than the radio? I want to be able to play music without using data, and I don’t have an extensive iTunes library. Thanks

I have a 256GB USB stick with over 8,800 songs in flac format (lossless).

I am going to rip my CD catalogue onto a USB, and check out the other suggested avenues!

From someone who still has its CD Collection and that probably spent half a year ripping, cataloging and adding meta tags to it....

I clung to me physical media for years but finally relented to go to Spotify Family account cause my kids wanted a payed subscription

You will never look back, its liberating I tell you!

Spotify let's you download music. No more YouTube to mp3. What a time to be alive.

Both YouTube and YouTube music allow downloading now.

You Tube Music - Android Auto. I have Google Fi (ever since it was Project Fi pay per use). When they lowered the monthly by 10$ with a flat rate unlimited data (just last month). I became a YouTube music subscriber (~10$/month)

The free version had limited features in the Mach E / Android Auto. I think I was only able to only to play the music I bought and transferred to YTM. Without using data.

I used about 11 gig last month in data but that's just not only music streaming in car.

I used to do the same thing with Google Fi, until I realized I could save a few hundred a year utilizing the in-car wifi and not using my Google Fi mobile data.

Yes, data charges are capped meaning if you max out your data, your monthly bill is around 80 bucks a month for phone service and data. But all the data I was using was in the car. So by switching to in-car wifi I pay 200 a year for that, but save almost 60 a month in Google Fi data charges. Total annual savings is $520.

Only downside is when using the wifi you can't simultaneously connect wirelessly to Android auto. It requires its own wifi network and you can't connect to both.

I have my "Favorites" Spotify playlist downloaded on my phone so it does not use Data to play it and its always up to date based on changes I make on it over time

Same... Just play via Android Auto.

Android Auto, streaming from either: Pandora or SoundCloud

How do you play SoundCloud app through android auto on the sync screen?

Edit: nevermind figured it out.

Don't you need YouTube red to do it?

I've loaded music into my phone's internal storage. I can play that in the car via Omnia or similar apps, via Android Auto or just via Bluetooth... Sounds decent (to me) either way.

Some folks load music to USB flash drives...

I sometimes play streaming music (e.g. Pandora). It's not really that much data.

But my personal #1 option is to listen to podcast episodes from my subscriptions in Podcast Addict.

I do the same but I bought a phone just for music and added 850 GB to it and use andr
