Absolutely this. I miss the concept of music players, but I've been a Spotify Premium user since it first came to the US over a decade ago because it's convenient and reasonably priced....
Piracy, purchasing, ripping CDs, etc. when you want to listen to a random song is just a pain in the ass compared to just hitting play in Spotify.

Spotify's royalty-to-artists thing aside, I think this is what the TV/movie industry is really missing. I still have a 30TB+ NAS and Plex server that probably cost me more than I would spend on years of streaming services, but it's so much more convenient with all the automation. If I could get Spotify-like convenience on my TV I'd do it in a heartbeat.
