Not necessarily piracy, but I realise that it might be the only option.

I’m planning to get away from Spotify. Is there some good places to get music. I don’t mind paying for it. But I don’t want a subscription service. I just want to be able to give someone money in exchange for a product. And ideally a MP3 or something similar so I can use it offline and move the file between devices.

Does something like that exist somewhere?

    I mainly get my purchased music from Qobuz and Bandcamp. If it’s older, don’t dismiss compact discs, used or new. A lot of times you can get the CD cheaper than the digital download, then just rip it to any format you want.
