Not Spotify, but I've just been using YT Music FOSS alternatives for a while + offline music from CDs I own.
With my headphones, I can't tell the difference between a lossless FLAC and audio from YTM, so it's not an issue for me.

I buy albums. Built up a nice library. No drm. No Internet required. I can even share it or pass it on. It's a lot easier to share than my parents' big record collection
I been using all these apps for music streaming , all open-source , Spotify and YouTube music clients. Cicada has the best FLAC lossless audio streaming from both Spotify & YT music.

Nice. Do I need referral code for this? Can u share your username so that I can register??
I don't think a referral code is needed!
I need to leave Apple Music. My OG archive of media is good for pre-2014 but anything else afterwards…. That’s a lot of mining to be done online aarrrrr
I'm assuming you intend to use a lidarr, jacket, deluge stack to do that?
