I buy my music on Bandcamp and Qobuz and put it on my Jellyfin server. It’s great! Also I don’t need 10.000 songs at once so it’s not really that expensive, I end up paying a little more a month now than for streaming, but I build up a library of music I actually like and don’t have to think about losing it when yhe service get shit.

You can also buy music on Qobuz, I use it together with Bandcamp to get more coverage.

Had the same issue, but between Bandcamp and Qobuz I find I’m not lacking much. Since I’m buying the songs anyway I don’t care too much about having multiple apps for my music.

I find that it’s really easy to find new artists and albums I like on Bandcamp. I just started by following a few genres and listen to a some music at random. If I like it I add it to my whislist and carry on. And I just listen to the “new and hot” section. Gives way better results and more variety than Spotify ever did for me.

From time to time I go to my whislist and listen to some of it again and usually decide to either buy the album or delete it from my whislist.

I also use Qobuz for more mainstream artists that’s not on Bandcamp.

Recently started to put all my purchases into Jellyfin for easier management between the services.

I also have a few pirated playlists of my favorite songs from years ago. I go through them when I have time and money and see if I like the songs enough to buy some albums or songs from the artists.
