Sometimes I think I made the right decision to just get a huge harddrive and download all my favorite entertainment in drm free format. Movies, music, games, books. I saw this coming a mile away a decade ago. The only thing that will really hurt me is if/when Steam inevitably goes full corporate cucks and starts going hard on the DRM locking down my library.
I love my Plex library. I use YouTube Music because I think it's more convenient and fair for the price. It's one service for basically all music. Movies and shows, on the other hand, is an absolute cluster fuck. I'm perfectly happy to pay for good content, but I'm not okay with paying for 10 services where the content keeps shifting and disappearing and being retroactively edited so as not to offend "modern audiences."
Valve turned me from gaming pirate to VERY solid customer. Spotify turned me from music pirate to customer. I am patiently waiting for the visual media industry to pull their heads out of their asses.
If you have enough technical computer knowledge to put commands in a terminal I highly recommend you check out and install Youtube-dlp (yt-dlp) I am an avid hoarder of music on my mp3 player and love being able to download a whole playlist from youtube (and other sites like bandcamp, soundcloud, vimeo, ect) and have it auto convert to music format and optionally number them in playlist order, with one command. It works with windows and most operating systems.
The best part is that theres no illegal activity involved. It uses the same technologies and rules a web browser uses to download and stream stuff normally.
I appreciate that, but unless you can automate it through an iPhone app, I'm not interested. My life is complicated enough and I want my music access to be seamless.
