I am on Qobuz these days, buying more and more files for my local collection though.
"What, were you expecting some long, drawn-out, 2000-word guide? It's extremely easy to get off Spotify while keeping your library intact, and you don't owe that company shit. What are you waiting for."

@tante yep, me too. When I quit Spotify I still had a pile of old CDs lying around. Luckily only two of them had fallen victim to disc rot.
When I have the time to spare I also "rip" some of my vinyl records. Compared two just buying the file from Bandcamp/Qobuz it's not worth the hassle. But it',s still a fun and nerdy way to spend some time actively listening to music.
