I run Plex (with plexamp) and buy music from:

- Basecamp

- Direct artist websites

- 7digital

- HDTracks

Almost everything I've bought (tens of albums) are FLAC and sound great. I also feel great supporting artists better than my Spotify subscription is able to.

I was tempted by this too, but the cost of buying everything I'd want would be in the thousands. If I only bought a core 20-30 albums then maybe a few hundred dollars.

Also I have Apple One for my wife and I, which comes with Apple Music, Fitness, 2TB iCloud, Apple TV, etc., for AUD$40/month (I think?) which is hard to ignore price wise.

I know that cancelling a subscription based music service and buying the albums would have a long term net saving of money, and I can easily afford to drop $4-5k on music right now, it seems counter intuitive.

Ah basecamp, I can collaborate with my team using music :p
I can't praise Plex enough. Life changing. I've accumulated so much media over the years it was becoming a hassle to manage.
