If you own your music, you can have it in a digital format and copy it somewhere else.
I'm an old millennial that started with dial-up and downloaded MP3s from IRC/Napster/Kazaa/torrents.
Eventually I started to buy what I could on CD then ripped them, then bought MP3s when possible. Otherwise I don't mind using yt-dlp.
Those MP3s have been played by a portable CD player, then a Samsung MP3 player, then 3 or 4 phones. I'm still playing that collection on my actual phone, using Poweramp.
The device that plays the files may not last but you can certainly copy those elsewhere and do what you want with them, for as long as you want.
