where do you get your music from? (ideally: DRM free, online store with SEPA payment (or paypal), low price (feddit.de)

My current way is:

bandcamp.com for some artists
buying used CDs from a online music CD reseller and ripping them
download a few from youtube via youtube-dl or something

Now a few of those from youtube are great, i'd like to buy now the album. bandcamp.com doesn't offer it and it is too specific/too new to get a used CD.

i could buy them from apple Itunes since it is rather cheap and it offers a DRM free download option (i think), but i'd like to avoid apple and its walled garden and bad user interface for linux people.

torrents, and yt-dlp (works with bandcamp, soundcloud, etc, not only youtube).

with a few exceptions i only pay for music when i can do so without an intermediary taking a big cut and my data (eg, mostly only in-person at a show), but i have paid for things through bandcamp a few times.
