Is there an easy way to download tons of music without paying for a shit ton of albums?

I've been using Qobuz. Sure it's still paid, but I can buy downloads for any of the music on there. Same with Bandcamp. I've been buying one album every paycheck and putting them on my storage blocks, then putting them on my media player and phone. I support my favorite bands, and get to keep something in return. On top of all this, I hunt down CDs. I've got a massive physical music collection, and it's nice.

Third party apps for Spotify is definitely the way to go if you don't have premium.

I can't find the reference, but isn't Spotify the service which stole the lyrics from another site? And then the other site added morse code on some of them to catch them red handed?

That could be part of the reason if it was

I believe the squabble you're talking about was between Genius and Google, don't think Spotify was stealing lyrics from anywhere

IIRC correctly, Genius added white space to some of their lyrics so that when Google scraped them, they could prove they got it from their site since the scraped content also had the random white space.

Could someone kindly ELI5 how to lidarr-ize my liked tracks from Spotify, please?

My collection there is quite static and I think I'm a good candidate to go MP3/AAC/whatever 🏴‍☠️ plus Spotify free just to keep up to date with newly released singles/albums from time to time.

Thanks!

P.S. also what comes after would be great, i.e. how I can batch transfer all those files from my home server running lidarr to my Android phone/PC and keep them in sync after the initial transfer. Plus also a nice feature rich Android app, either free (no ads) or even better open source with an accessible price.
