I’ll be honest and say that most of my self hosted music collection was pirated or ripped from CD like 20 years ago. I put it all on an iPod back then.
I found the iPod gathering dust in a drawer when I finally got a car with a usb jack a couple years ago (yeah I’m not exactly laden with bags of cash over here) and recently pulled all that music back onto my newly set up media server.
I have a Spotify family account I’m trying to phase out with resistance from the children.
To support artists I go and see them when they tour and buy a ludicrously expensive t-shirt
