So maybe I'm an old dinosaur (age 49), but I'm mostly digitally competent.

I have probably nearing a thousand music CDs, and many hundered of purchased digital tracks (mostly Amazon and iTunes).

My problem is not being able to accessing all my music.

I used to be able to upload any and everything to Amazon's cloud and listen that way. That has since been discontinued. I started buying digital music that I already own many times over just so I can easily access them.

There must be a better way.

I am looking to do a few things:

Store ALL of my music online.

Access ALL of my music from my phone, laptop, and Roku-like devices.

Be able to create playlists that can be accessed from each of these devices.

Everytime I try to search online for solutions, I am directed to apps and programs that have been discontinued.

Any help would be appreciated, even directing me to a more appropriate messageboard site where such things are discussed.

Thanks for the response.

I can get quite a bit on my Microsoft OneDrive, but when I got to play from my phone, or Xbox One, I have to search fro a single song and once that song is over it stops. I can't figure out how to make playlists that can access the music files.

I don't know if this is feasible for you but what I did was I got a 256gb micro SD card and put all my music on there. Pop the sd card into my phone and there's all my music, any time I want it. When I'm at home, I just connect my phone to my Bluetooth speakers and blast the neighbours out of it with my collection of Prince, Springsteen and 80s hair metal. [Edited 11/4/19 10:39am]

I can definitely do that. What app would i use to create playlists?

There's loads of music apps on the app store. I use one called Black Player. You can create playlists and sort your music by artist, album, song etc. Plus, it's free. There's another one I had before called Pi Music Player. It was pretty good too. I prefer the layout of the Blackplayer though but that's just a personal thing. They're both free so you could try both and see which one you like.

Thanks. I will check it out.

You should ask TD3, she's already discussed this over here, TD where are you??

In the meantime, this could be of help:

Google Play allows you to stream everything from your drive into its database. The one reason I have it
