I want to avoid Spotify and Apple Music.

I have checked out Sound Cloud and they do have the artists I’m interested in but are they more ethical than the above services?

I could also buy cds as a last resort.

Not quite the same but check if your local library has access to Hoopla. It is usually free and can get your music, audiobooks, and ebooks. There's other free apps too like Libby for ebooks, flipster for magazines, and kanopy for foreign films and documentaries. All were free with my free library card.

Aaaannd libraries typically have a fairly large set of audio CDs to check out, take home, and… listen to (cough)
