I have started my own journey into Backblaze storage

I'm currently using Wasabi - works out well. Used rclone to upload my library and it worked pretty seamlessly.

The move to free (ish) egress in B2 is positive - it makes the storage much more flexible.

For most people it's absolutely fine for storing music to playback from. I appreciate readers here may have different priorities to others, but music streaming seems to work for many people.

B2, yes.

Via any app that either connects directly (e.g. https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2021/02/10/comparison-best-cloud-music-players/  ) or plays the files via an S3 compatible sync or virtual filesystem.

I used Astiga for a while, worked fine, but Backblaze charges for that usage. And there’s also a decision to make regarding whether to use B2 or Backblaze’s unlimited personal storage. For large collections the latter is less expensive, but in terms of capabilities is essentially limited purely to offsite backup (no cloud player, etc.).

Thanks for the feedback 🙂 . Understand about the fees - egress is coming down across the board, so I think things are going in the right direction.
