We have google music family (which gives you tube red for family) but previously had thousands and thousands of iTunes purchases.
Anymore it’s rare I find a song that isn’t on play, and I sync my playlists offline in iOS. If I Shazam something on the road (rare these days) I add to playlist and let it download immediately.
So basically I now use music.google.com for everything.
Have used plesk and did a lot of ripping in the 2000’s for music and video, but with the kids I finally switched to google.
I have to admit I never thought I would find myself doing this and like everything else these days we are hopelessly at the mercy of our cloud overlords.
I use Prime Music mostly to play random playlists and the odd specific song I want to hear.
But that does not help me with all the Japanese music I have in my library.
That is why I was looking at the upload services.
Is it no longer a feature of Google Music to add a drive folder to show up in Music. They had something like this, which would make your point of Google dropping features.
Yes, you still can but through Google Chrome. I have it.

I succumb to the world of Apple, with Apple Music. Spend some time building my offline playlists and then have others that will stream. For me, well worth the monthly cost.

Literally just a giant NFS share that's backed up to CrashPlan.
Right, but how do you listen to it on the go?
I don't usually listen to it from my iPhone. It's on a USB drive attached to my car or from my laptop.
If I do use my iPhone I just use Amazon music. I did have a public facing Emby server at one time but I stopped using it.

I wonder if you could upload it all to YouTube if it's all private?

OK so this doesn't work for JB because he can't get his Japanese music into Apple Music.

Correct.

Is streaming that big of deal for you? I assume you don't just want it on the music device you have?
The point is I cannot easily get it on the mobile device I use because I cannot use iTunes on Linux.

Been looking for a similar product for a while... I seem to remember SongBird being able to work,... but I have to look again.
What about Banshee, or Amarok? I don't know anything about either.. but Google search came up with those as options..

Doesn't iphone have a way of getting into USB drive mode? or was that removed? or is that only a function through itunes?

I haven't tried for awhile but I remember I was able to access some photos and videos using Shotwell but that's about it.

I am not worried about access data from my iPhone on my Linux machines. I am looking at ways to listen to my music library on my iPhone without iTunes.

set your iphone into USB drive mode, connect it to 'nix machine, copy over music, disconnect, play music - no?

That only gives you access to photos last I tried it.

Just chiming in that I'm with @dbeato on Google Music. Uploaded my personal collection to it years ago. I also purchase most of my music through there now as well with money I earn from Google Surveys. Easy to cache songs for offline listening as well when you're going somewhere without internet access.

Well, prior to Amazon dumping it, I would have easily chosen them because I use Prime and listen to Amazon Music already.
With Google's history of dumping products, I am extra wary of them doing the same now that Amazon has done it.

Yeah I do a lot of streaming through Amazon Music as well for songs I don't own.
I understand your lack of trust in Google to keep the product going, but I really don't know how much more assurance you can get from other providers that are lesser known that they'll be around for 5-10 years. You just gotta pick the best one at the time that looks solid and if it gets bumped, move on. That or do as @dbeato mentioned in his first post and put it into NextCloud that you can control yourself.
