(I posted an identical question 2-3 years ago, I thought I'd see if we're anywhere better today)

So the current lineup is wireless speakers and if you don't want to have yet *another* monthly subscription, that means you have £10k of speakers streaming from your computer or ipad (correct me if I'm wrong) Or like my basement where I have a turntable plugged into my A9.

For me right now upgrading to the non-vintage world would be my Mac or having a 128Gb iPad filled with albums, a fancy controller where I select albums to play and place it on the table. I have that already, I'm a media hoarder and have a vast collection of albums, all of them are ripped or recorded directly, all are tagged. I have a 256gb phone specifically to accommodate my music+photo collection.

But iTunes sucks, it really does. It looks dreadful, especially from Apple, a company that "value" design and Siri isn't reliable enough that I can ask it to play albums on demand. What is the current best alternative that isn't a subscription service? Is there something that looks really really good, where I can browse albums without the clutter and constant offerings from their paid subscription services or promoted new bands?
