My current way is:

  • bandcamp.com for some artists
  • buying used CDs from a online music CD reseller and ripping them
  • download a few from youtube via youtube-dl or something

Now a few of those from youtube are great, i'd like to buy now the album. bandcamp.com doesn't offer it and it is too specific/too new to get a used CD.

i could buy them from apple Itunes since it is rather cheap and it offers a DRM free download option (i think), but i'd like to avoid apple and its walled garden and bad user interface for linux people.

Deemix for the vast majority of stuff (I pay for a HiFi Deezer account so I can download FLACs), with Bandcamp, RuTracker and the occasional charity shop CD handling the other stuff not on Deezer.

There was a time when you could download FLACs with Deemix… That was amazing.

You still can, you just need a HiFi Deezer sub.
