It's been more than 25 years of accumulating mp3, editing and cleaning my libraries, upgrading to flac, etc. Now going strong at around 600gb of music.

I have an mp3 library, but have never heard of Plex. What is that?

Plex.tv It's a free multimedia server that you can install on your computer and start streaming your own video & music to yourself or your family and friends when you share your server. I paid for the Lifetime license because it's worth it. I own a 36tb server at home and I shared my server to about 20 people.

Envy and jellyfish are other open-source solution that are also great to use.

What’s the advantage of using it vs. using a service like Spotify? I personally have around 16 gigs of music, which are all downloaded onto my phone.

I’ve gotten into a habit of maintaining a “physical” digital library since the iPod days and never broke away from that.

Not the person you asked but it's similar for me. I've used different solutions along the way, but now I'm running Jellyfin, which is great!
