Buy music directly from artists. Plenty of them sell their tracks online.

Host a Navidrome server in docker to stream it.

I host one for VGM since that isn’t on any streaming site. Going strong for two years.
With “regular” music though losing the discover ability would really suck :/

I use navidrome and scrobble to listenbrainz. That gives some discoverability. I think last.fm is also supported

You can also use programs like Nicotine+ to download music for free.

That requires you to buy all your music though, for those (like me) that own basically nothing, it’s crazy to change.
They need to force the free streaming of owned tracks or something. Qobuz allows this I think, but only if you buy through them.

Bandcamp even allows free streaming when you don’t own the music. But the player sucks
