Buy DRM-free or physical media and make your own copy.

Yup, 7digital deleted well over a thousand dollars worth of music from my account. I didn’t lose it because the files themselves are DRM free and I have my own copies and backups of those copies.

Yes, I mostly buy from Qobuz and Bandcamp these days, and they’ve been solid so far. But I don’t trust keeping my files in the cloud (aka some else’s server), I buy DRM-free, keep copies locally, and keep them backed up.

I have local copies, I have backup copies in Kopia (backed by B2 cloud), and backup copies on an external hard drive that has a copy of my Kopia backups (updated periodically).
