Convenient Music Piracy (lemmy.ml)

I really want to ditch spotify, but its just so convenient to be able to search and stream music on any device at a moments notice. Not to mention the fact that its integrated with a music player that can quickly queue up, or add to playlist a searched song. Is there any software (or collection of software) that can emulate the convenience of spotify?

I download all music using Nicotine+ which uses the soulseek protocol, you can find the weirdest of shit there, and I use Lollypop to play on my PC, when I want to listen to some on my phone and I don't have wifi I just dump a couple albums there, if not I use NewPipe.

This is by far the best answer. Having the music locally is crucial, and sharing is even more awesome. Although this doesn't solve the problem of music discovery. Spotify is very convenient to find new tracks you may or may not like.

True, but I don't need discovering that much since to me it is a natural process of rabbit holing where I generally end up finding stuff through other stuff. Using RateYourMusic also works if you follow cool people.
