Not necessarily piracy, but I realise that it might be the only option.

I'm planning to get away from Spotify. Is there some good places to get music. I don't mind paying for it. But I don't want a subscription service. I just want to be able to give someone money in exchange for a product. And ideally a MP3 or something similar so I can use it offline and move the file between devices.

Does something like that exist somewhere?

Agreed about the last point. I actually prefer to pay for my media. I like supporting the stuff I like, and I have an acceptable income now so that's not really an excuse any longer.

My reason for occasionally turning to piracy is because the products I'm offered seems to be getting worse, and that's something I cannot accept. Not being able to listen to the music I bought because I moved the files from one device I own to another, or my audiobooks being unavailable because I'm somewhere without internet access and the Audible app not letting me log in. All unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.

And. Tickets and merch is obviously great.
