Where are you getting your music?

[Haveagail]

I've been trying to move away from streaming services like Spotify, but it seems impossible. I bought some music from a few artists on Bandcamp and scrounged up the old music off my iPod from like 15 years ago. Where are you getting your music?

I use soundcloud and then download all the songs that I like so I have a local copy archived in case it ever gets deleted off the cloud

7digital is a drm free British music download site.

I highly recommend it for downloading full albums.

Bandcamp, every month.  It's the only marketing mailing-list I voluntarily joined.

Soma.FM has done right by me for years; it's what plays every day on my music-playing appliance in the kitchen.  It's streams, but not proprietary crap like Spotify where I have to spend a third or half of the time trying to get their software to work correctly.  Shoutcast/Icecast streams are great because they're free, it's a well-known format that works with anything not solely some gatekeeping software, and the stream includes whats-playing-now so when you hear something you like you can find who made it and search for more.

incompetech by Kevin Macleod, for when I was desperate for music to make intermissions for Monday nights.

I'm still a heavy Spotify user, but I've also gotten back into listening to the radio. It's nice to have someone else pick music for me! Community/student stations are enjoyably quirky.

I use Triode, but it's just a nice search/aggregator for standard radio streams. I mostly listen to KUSF, KPISS, BFF.FM, Nectarine, and my local student radio stations.

I love the local(ish) college radio station.  Go Rams!
