Subscription service might be worth it, depending on how much you think you will be buying. Some years ago I subbed to Deezer for a while, as they were one of the few that streamed FLAC (lossless), back then. You can set up playlists, set it to play artist by discography, or album by album. At the time they did not play commercials either, but don't know about now.

These days, I think most of the subscription sites stream "lossless" of some kind. There are debates online on what is even considered lossless or discernable to the human ear in regards to what sites offer what filetype. Ad blockers like uBlock Origins also skip all the ads on Spotify free, so it would probably work on most sites, if they have commercials. Spotify free is pretty good quality, even when playing right next to a FLAC file of the same song.

Of course there are programs out there to record from the major sites too.

Here is a list of many/most of the streaming music sites (Deezer, Spotify, etc.), plus other tools: LINK

Bandcamp if you want to purchase it.
Bandcamp is probably the answer. I dropped them in the era where Epic owned them, but seem to be independent again. Boomkat ended up getting a decent amount of my cash in the lull there.

Every so often they do an event where for a few days 100% of the proceeds go to the band. Sign up for their emails and you’ll get notified. I actually like their emails unlike most companies. They send you email when new releases of albums from bands similar to ones you’ve bought before. I’ve found new bands to check out that way.
