Honestly, this is the eventual fate of every corporate streaming service.
The only reliable answer is to self-host it via Jellyfin or (if you have a Plex Pass already for cheaper than it is now) Plex, or another similar system. PlexAmp’s suggestion system, self-hosted “radio,” Sonic Adventure and other features really leave me quite content to never waste another second on streaming services that aspire only to be the biggest leech that is hardest to remove and has access to the most customer blood.
If you have an issue with piracy, you can still buy MP3s or FLACs from many services, or rip your own CDs. Unless you have a local, DRM-free copy, it’s always one expired license away from disappearing forever, and one ambitious employee away from being overrun with ads and your private details sold.
