I'm returning to car boot sales to buy cubic meters of CDs.
That, and BandCamp.

Tidal is pretty good these days. Qobuz too
And Bandcamp
Bandcamp is owned by union busters. Only use on Bandcamp Friday for best effect.
Tidal is pretty harsh on vpns and my whole network is behind something most of the time :(

No account or subscription required.
Hundreds of internet radio stations. Some are ad-supported, some are ad-free but you can contribute to the station's patreon.
Never understood Spotifys appeal. Youtube has always been better imo.

I showed it something else with cheeks and now I'm on 15 watchlists.
I have a non-uk account but at the first sight of age verification I will delete my account.
I just use spot-dl to download my music.
...return? LOL
Ngl, right now I'm endevouring to acquire more music in digital file format rather than streaming right now. Spotify is great, especially when your looking for individual songs that you'll only listen to a handful of times, and for discovering music, but once you lose access to it you're pretty fucked.
At this point even the music discovery is being enshitified with AI bands taking up more and more space as low-cost filler.
The last 10 years of the internet are committing seppuku in front of us. Gird your musical loins, friend. We'll need jams in MP3 format in the dystopian hellscape that's rushing to meet us.
