The only subscription service that I pay for is tidal for music (pays artists more than Spotify, same cost) and that's only because maintaining a local library of music is too much of a pain for me right now. I may slowly build a local music library of only music I like, but I love listening to new artists so the $10 per month is worth the convenience.

YouTube? Ublock origin
Movie/tv streaming? Self hosted media library, plus some random services that are provided through my phone bill at no cost
File storage? Stored with my movies and TV on some hdds in raid
Amazon? Its not hard to find other retailers (or direct providers) with better prices and no subscription needed. Sometimes have to pay for shipping and it's slower, but worth it

Passing along advice someone else posted on lemmy. If you have an android TV box, look at Stremio + Torrentio. Game changer!

I do go for YouTube premium but that’s my primary source of entertainment nowadays and it does result in more money in my favorite content creators’ pockets (apparently more than ad-based revenue according to some sources at least). Plus YouTube music is included in that and is actually quite good.

Most music steaming services have garbage selection for dubstep anyways, so local library is the only way to go.

I pity that iOS users don't have a good option for downloading music off YouTube though.

[-] pseudonym@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago

Can you make any suggestions? I think I'm into dubstep but I have a hard time finding new artists

This looks good, not sure if you can customize the linked iOS shortcut to download music though: https://projectlounge.pw/ytdl

If you have at least 6tb of storage space and good internet, the RedTopia torrent is more than enough to fill out a personal music library. That + SoulSeek for whatever new stuff shows up in my feed is everything I could ever need. Streamed anywhere onto my phone through Plex or PlexAmp

The torrent itself is just torrent files for a 6tb music library split into 13 parts. Each torrent is about 500gb of lossless music

If you can point me in a direction for those 13 torrent files, I'll be very thankful!

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Posting from my phone right now but I believe this post links to the files. . If not, then simply searching for "Redtopia FLAC" should bring them up

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've tried Tidal a couple of times and it never felt like it was hitting the mark. The HiFi is a solid feature though.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah had the same feeling about tidal as well. Settled for Apple Music since they offer hifi and a nice interface. Spotify still has the best playlists but it’s getting feature bloat and the quality isn’t up to par

[-] senoro@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The best deal you will get is Apple Music. Especially if you are a classical music fan it is unbeatable. But another HiFi one that isn’t apple, is qobuz, although the song selection isn’t as wide as spotify or tidal or apple music. But they do pay artists a lot more and they have a webstore for purchasing FLAC and MP3s if that’s what you like.

[-] finestnothing@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't had any issues with it, the quality isn't as good as self hosted flac files (unless you want to pay for the highest tier, I assume) but it's at least as good as Spotify imo. Big selling point initially was Plex integration though
