I quit Spotify too though still in Apple Music. Hopefully later I'm able to buy non-DRM music (from something in Bandcamp to CD or even Vinyls). Actually I went to Vinyl store yesterday, it was such a refreshing experience.

Honestly I got sick of subscription. I know I'm not alone with that. I want to actually own my own music. I don't want to pirate either 'cause I still genuinely support those artists.

    Try qobuz. They're a streaming service and an online music store. Obviously bandcamp>qobuz when it comes to supporting the artists, but anything you can stream, you can buy and download in flac, mp3, etc. They also have a fair amount of high-res stuff too.

    Qobuz was such a great discovery for me a couple of years ago. I've bought so much more music lately because of it.

    Combined with my Plex server and plexamp on my phone, I have all the streaming benefit from Spotify, with my own music collection that I've built up for more than 20 years at this point.

    Just a heads up, Bandcamp has gotten a little shady in the past year or so. I honestly forgot what happened, but I think they got bought out by some shitty label that's known for treating artists like shit.

    But tbh I don't remember correctly
