Storing music

I built my personal "music admin" site, where I store all my legally bought music along with a lot of info for each song.

I have links to youtube for each song as well. But I would like to be able to stream the music as well as mp3, next to youtube. Should I store the songs on my own server, or is there some cloud alternative out there?

I have a backup of my music on dropbox, as well as google drive, but I want to be able to directly streak from my site, as well as being able to make playlists like that later.

It's about 10GB of music at the moment, give or take. I am not planning to stream a lot. So would it be a good idea to simply add an upload function and store directly on my Digital Ocean server? Also for backup purposes.

I am the only one using the site btw.

I have ofcourse been googling before I posted this question :P Couldn't find anything. Not a big fan of S3 either to be honest.

I have already solved this by simply adding an upload function, and I am storing the music on my own server now.
