I buy the music I want to have track by track on iTunes, I have 800 songs in my library, my thinking is that if I get on hard times, I will at least be able to keep access to my music without any added cost.
I do this and download it to local storage. It's all DRM free and I can stream it myself with Jellyfin or throw it on a USB stick to play in my car. Even if Apple goes belly-up or something they can't revoke that access.
I also have 300+ CDs though.
That was my plan, but I haven't got to it yet.
I'll have to spin up a VM with Windows, install iTunes and start downloading
