Are there any alternative music streaming services that I could look into? (lemmy.ca)

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.

Whenever you buy music, try to buy from the band directly if at all possible. If not, check that their label has a merch store. Prices won’t be much different but in most cases, the band gets a larger take of the sale.
