You did not give me a link to something saying that C# is faster (it is still not). Choosing C# only is only good if vendor lockdown is something you like (or benefit from). I have been involved in a project where C#-developers where involved (MS lockdown). The funders asked me if i could take care of the project (rewrite it in java). C# is complete garbage.

I have also written some shellscripts in java (i did not smoke anything). If startuptime would be an issue (normally it is not) i would just use graal-vm to compile it. Just do this: "native-image script"

Java is faster in almost any way (compared to C#). Do you have benchmarks showing i am wrong ? It also has multiple AOT compilers and a much larger eco-system.

There is now J2CL which translates java into javascript (superfast). gmail and google sheets is written in GWT.

How do you connect a big harddrive with all your music (in flac) to phone ? A phone would require some kind of service (not free) for streaming the songs. I prefer to have everything on my harddrive (i do not like to lose audio when the network is down).

If you alter the volume, you alter the bits (which means not bitperfect playback). It reduces the available bits.

M0 is not so important. It has increased M3 by around 20% (similar to the US dollar).
