I dropped Youtube Music to go to Spotify, seemed like the lesser of two evils...
I'm gonna need to have some kind of music service >_>..
edit: and the song is still up on both Youtube and Youtube Music. Why the fuck did Spotify do this exactly? The censorship seems random and arbitrary at this point.
Honestly, for the yearly price of these music services, you could buy a used office PC (something like a Dell Optiplex can be found for under $50 or even free if you know the right people), slap in a platter hard drive (even something as small as 1-2TB would hold a ton of music) along with an SSD for the operating system (Windows or Linux) and you easily could roll your own personal music streaming service for under $100 in total (jf you're willing to buy used gear).
Install and run Subsonic (and maybe other services like Plex so you can stream movies you might have obtained on thumb drive or the high seas).
All I basically said was buy a computer and a couple of hard drives. The additional details are a specific way to host your own personal streaming service on the cheap.
Best way to get technical experience is by defining a specific technical goal and completing it.
Find YouTube tutorials on upgrading the particular computer you buy. Here's an example of how easy it is to work on these Dell Optiplex PCs and upgrade a second hard drive, etc.

For a business, you should look into paid services that handle all the legal matters for you. Don't get sued for copyright violations.
I just have all my music opus 96kbps stream from WebDAV from my computer.
I have zero monthly expenses. Just food.
Platter = regular HDD. As in, cheaper for storage and doesn't need the access.speeds.of ssd or nvme. In most cases, just "plain ass sata hard drive"
