Got tired with it. Fired up ytdlp( it was complex for me. So I used an android app called ytdlnis) and downloaded some music. I can't do it in one day so still downloading.

Just remember to pay forward. Go to local music shows, buy merch from the bands you like

I just canceled Tidal and set up a Navidrome server, and I've probably spent more on bandcamp and such lately than 2 years of that subscription.

So I can't say I saved anything cost-wise, but having more control over my library is absolutely worth it. Realistically a single direct album purchase goes much further than streaming the same album anyway.

I hate how Navidrome won’t just take a folder as an album and forces you to get all the data right or else

Yeah it's a bit annoying, I wish it could just edit metadata directly instead of having to go through something like beets or picard

Sends me back to Jellyfin every time

MP3 metadata management has always been a pain in the ass. I can suggest Picard and Beets as useful tools, but there will always be some effort required to maintain properly
