Spotify kind of sucks. I've been using Bandcamp for years (though they sold to epic and then got sold to some vultures, so they might be doomed)
If I buy one album a month for a year, that's about the same as a subscription except I get to keep what I bought. And after a few years I have a big library and don't need to buy as much. And the musicians get a bigger cut.
If you're listening to stuff that's not on Bandcamp I don't know what to tell you. Probably buy it from elsewhere, or if it's old just pirate it because it should be public domain anyway.
I feel like we have different definitions of "big library". I listen to dozens of new albums a year.
I'm sincerely curious what your music habits are like. With 36 albums a year, how much time are you spending with any of them? Do you ever go back to listen again?
With Spotify you can listen to thousands of new albums a year. Some of them I do listen to again, yes. Also you can listen to playlists (I do both.)
