Are there any services or vendors of music that allow for local backup? (sopuli.xyz)

I used to buy a lot of music but physical medium seems to be on the way out and there are even artists that skip entirely publishing in such format.

Streaming is not my cup of tea nor a luxury I can adhere too, as I mostly work outside and there are spots where internet coverage is just non existant.

I would gladly pay for a service that would enable me to pull down and store music I pay for.

im not sure why you say streaming is out due to bad coverage areas? on spotify throw your music into a playlist then select download and then even if you’re offline it still plays

Personal preference.

I like to buy and keep something. So beside the network coverage issues I face, I prefer to buy and keep my copies in my home, to listen wherever and whenever I want, without the need for an app or something alike to make sure the music I paid for actually plays.

Call me old fashioned.
