I need a new service reccomendation that isn't GMusic or Spotify, neither companies of which I would like to support financially.

I don't mind paying for a hosted service as I don't have the time nor the energy to manage my own multimedia service and would like to have good reliability when out and about.

Any ideas?

I ditched Spotify for Apple Music last year (due to several issues with Spotify). The only thing I miss so far is a good web player. Apple Music offers one, but it crashes way too often. The iOS and even the Android app work just fine. Also, the price (at least here) is the same for both platforms.
You can pay for Apple Music using iTunes gift cards. If these can be bought with a discount in your area, Apple Music becomes cheaper.
TIDAL and Deezer are both quite good.
My ipod has never failed me. It stores and plays music.
