I’m also buying stuff off bandcamp and Amazon music when I can’t find it there. Have pretty much stopped using iTunes for anything apart from playing old playlists on my phone and hopefully migrating those playlists over to plex, once I get it back up and running and the cd collection ripped - which is taking forever, because it’s a boring boring job.
Use my missus Spotify account liking songs, liking playlists and then using that likes list to go download that song whether legally - bandcamp, amazon music etc, or illegally using ripping an mp3 from YouTube.
Having my own library of music independent of Spotify (and their algorithm/licensing issues - songs tend to disappear/be unplayable on there every so often)) feels really important. As a way of discovering songs from new artists, Spotify still does a decent job for me, but I’m doing less searching for new things and more listening to old things currently. #dadlife
