This was a very thoughtful piece. I appreciate the honest discussion of the struggle between giving up great apps for the sake of being distraction free. I've looked into the light phone but there's no support for Spotify, which is a big detractor for. I believe they added basic map functionality, but no streaming music is hard as my taste has exceeded my personal digital library

I have a separate audio player that I was carrying with my flip before I went to the Light Phone. A bunch of them have Spotify support, and it seems like you can spend from $100 to $400 to $800 to $thousands, depending on your appetite. Separate devices has its downsides (net price can be higher, more pocket space), but also has the upside of having devices focused and potentially higher quality. An option if you're thinking of it!

consider streaming/downloading (& supporting) independant radio like WFMU.org

not saying it's going to scratch all the itches that Spotify would, but it definitely will scratch some you didnt realize you had, which is a fun experience on it's own
