I know large-capacity uSD cards look attractive, but think about the logistics. Minor moOde updates can be done in-place but major moOde upgrades almost invariably involve flashing an new system image to the uSD card. This means first saving off all those music files before the upgrade and then copying them back after the upgrade is complete. Same is true if for any reason moOde gets borked and has to be reflashed.
In this regard, the RPi4B looks very attractive. Music can be stored without performance penalty on a large-capacity USB3 thumbdrive. It's no more expensive, it's more reliable, it's portable, and thanks to USB3 it's fast.
Just my 2-cents worth.
