The problem with this is that I don't want to maintain an iOS app. I've considered RSS feeds, etc. But at the end of the day holding onto a song you love that you paid for shouldn't be this hard.

For subscription services, I get it. I don't love it, I think the contracts they've all negotiated are stupid, but fine. I get that a bunch of lawyers leads to me not being able to play almost any of my music while I fly over the Pacific.

But the combination of locked-down-OS (something I'm actually for) and legaleses / constant access negotiations means the effort I would have to go through to legally pay for music and actually hold onto it for good and then play it from my phone is too hard.
