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.
I’ve been using them for years. They work off of a “add money to an account” model so you have to be willing to put money in before you buy your music. They look sketchy but never had a problem but always use Privacy.com CC just in case.
The down side is the UI Sucks.
