That's what we're doing (more and more) here.
I do NOT like online streaming for a variety of reasons, primary among them is operational complexity, which (relative to my worldview) is very high.
Being quite lazy -- I just use the media player that was bundled with the s/w for my Synology NAS. It's... fine.
Still listen to stuff on most other forms of physical media, though -- digital & analog.
all the best,
mrh
