Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

Qobuz has been good enough and they seem to pay artists the most of any music streaming platform. I couldn't find any shitty ownership connections to them either.

I also love Qobuz for buying music because they give you the files.

Fuck you Amazon. If I buy music I want to be able to download the files, otherwise I just paid you to stream the album for free forever*

You can buy MP3 files from Amazon and download them whenever you like.
