I’ve been using YT music anyway, but I recently started using my Navidrome server by just yt-dlp’ing albums + tag with MusicBrainz picard and boom. A bunch of songs I can own until my server burns down.
I feel a little bad about pirating, but I’m a college student who hasn’t even gotten a job yet… But I will be buying merch or music off bandcamp in the future when I know I have the budget for it!
I will never give YT music money since they killed off Google Play Music (a far superior music app) to make it. I told them during the switchover the only way they would keep getting money from me was to not kill GPM, and so far, I’ve kept my word.

Bandcamp is very nice!
I recommand monochrome(.)tf, it’s basically Tidal for free so it has much better quality than YouTube
Thank you for this!
