I still buy music CDs and rip them to mp3s. Then I sync my Music collection to the various devices. I even sync it to a USB stick that plugs into the car. I don't have Spotify; I have Strawberry.
Rip to FLAC concert to MP3 If your on Windows MusicBee is amazing. Trying to find something similar for Linux.
I never made it past Napster mp3s into whatever Apple or Spotify offers. I did eventually rip all of my CDs to Flac before giving them away.
I also upload them to Play Music once they bought out Songza but that service changed over to YouTube Music not long after which I share with 5 people so I have gotten use to that as my ad free radio and YouTube.
Accuradio was another favorite along with Jango many years ago but that was with a ad blocker then.
I still have a portable MP3 player that I used for plane trips. Now it's just a nostalgia listen to the time when I loaded it in the late 2000s.
