The second someone figures out something along the lines of Steam, but for music and tv/movies. They’ll be onto a winner. I want uninterrupted access to my movies/music/tv and I want them in whatever format I need at a reasonable price.
Got sold to Songtradr late last year and they’ve already fired half the staff, so it’ll be fully enshittified by years end. Best to DL any albums you have on there and leave the platform.

Plex and Jellyfin.
Plex has Plex Amp, which is a music player, and each app can give you access to all your movies and TV shows.
You do have to have the actual files though, by whatever means you decide to get them: 💵 vs 🏴☠️
Or Navidrome if you want a more polished UI and subsonic support
Spotify allegedly has the same revenue split as Steam (ie they take 30%).
For music there’s Bandcamp.
Nope.

Well, for now it’s still there. But yeah, I’m also looking for something else because of that. Gonna look into Qobuz since that was mentioned.
Qobuz seems like it could become exactly that. you can either buy albums or pay a subscription, at either CD or lossless quality.
