Are there any alternative music streaming services that I could look into? (lemmy.ca)

I want to avoid Spotify and Apple Music.

I have checked out Sound Cloud and they do have the artists I’m interested in but are they more ethical than the above services?

I could also buy cds as a last resort.

I've been buying stuff from Bandcamp. They sold recently so their future is uncertain, but as it stands right now it seems like a pretty good deal. Artists get a good cut, and you get streaming + drm free copies of the music to download.

I don't really like subscriptions for music. It's like renting. I'd rather pay $10/mo buying an album and have a big library after ten years than have nothing.
