I will continue to not use Spotify. Buying drm free music is a long term win.
Where do you get your drm free music? I've been using Spotify for a while but am very interested in switching. Do you use Bandcamp? Do they have basically everything a person could want or do you get your music from somewhere else?
I do Bandcamp where I can but end up just yt-dlping YouTube and SoundCloud where necessary, and then I try to ask those artists to put their music in bandcamp or somewhere I can buy a download.
