What's your recommendation for listening to music privately?

My requirements are: open source desktop/web (Linux) and android app. I also want basically every song I would ever want.

I'm willing to pay just not on agregious amount of money.

If you are posting your recommendation please care to include the tradeoffs or any annoyances you got from it.

Thanks all!

I found a comfortable way to listen to music without torrenting. It relies heavily on a private company though, Bandcamp.

I spend $20 a month in albums and other than that listen to their shows and recommendations. I can’t pay for everything so I set a cap per month. I decided not to be 100% in control of what I listen to by listening to their radio shows (usually featuring an interview with an artist).

I’m slowly growing my private music library. Wish I had a friend or two to help. I’m happy to be supporting artists.
