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?

I check bandcamp first, as you get multiple file formats when you purchase something. Assuming I can't find things on bandcamp, they are on Beatport 99.9% of the time.

Personally I avoid iTunes as I don't want AAC files.

Is there a particular reason you avoid AAC files?

I've had some issues with AAC files not working in DAWs or DJ programs in the past
