Do I use a website to download songs off of YouTube or Spotify?
Where should I store the music? I haven’t any clue about self-hosting. I’m running GrapheneOS, is it enough to save the songs in Files and play in an app like Auxio? Maybe sync with SyncThing?
What’s the best way to compress mp3 files but still retain the quality (even possible)?
Could really use some help as I’m very inexperienced. :)

It’s really too bad Pixel phones don’t have an SD slot.
@clark Ugh. You could probably get away with multiple cloud storage services then, and mapping their folders to the music player of your choice. Also, use file types that are generally smaller in size for storing music (like opus or ogg). For cloud services, use the ones whose apps support Storage Access Framework so they can appear in the default Android File Manager / File Picker thing (you can also use something like Round Sync to access them all, and it does all the job for you). If you’re willing to pay for cloud storage, then one single provider with 100-200 GB can also be more than enough for your music needs if you own more than just a few songs.
Then you can add the folders in your music player settings.
Edit: Don’t forget to also backup your music somewhere in case something happens with your phone or your cloud provider(s)
