Got tired with it. Fired up ytdlp( it was complex for me. So I used an android app called ytdlnis) and downloaded some music. I can't do it in one day so still downloading.

I just canceled Tidal and set up a Navidrome server, and I've probably spent more on bandcamp and such lately than 2 years of that subscription.

So I can't say I saved anything cost-wise, but having more control over my library is absolutely worth it. Realistically a single direct album purchase goes much further than streaming the same album anyway.

I hate how Navidrome won’t just take a folder as an album and forces you to get all the data right or else

Yeah it's a bit annoying, I wish it could just edit metadata directly instead of having to go through something like beets or picard

MP3 metadata management has always been a pain in the ass. I can suggest Picard and Beets as useful tools, but there will always be some effort required to maintain properly
