For obtaining music, I check Bandcamp, then Amazon (they have drm free mp3s of most music and cds for everything else), then the artist site if available, then finally I look in the seas.
As for the best way to store and play the music back, I’ve put everything on my Jellyfin instance and then stream the media to my devices. On iOS, FinAmp is a decent music player for this setup.

Bandcamp first, if you can pay for what you want and then, surprisingly, still Soulseek.

I started using Soulseek nearly 20 years ago. Throughout my life I have seen p2p sharing platforms disappear one by one. But Soulseek? I’m amazed every day that I use it and discover that it’s still alive. It is the eternal soldier that continues the fight to this day.
Amusingly there are a few search terms which come up blank, but just throw in alternative key words and all is fine. I discovered this when searching Franz Ferdinand came up with none of their music!

Bandcamp was sold out. I stopped buying off them on that day.
