streaming has a history of being data intrusive. and buying from most online stores show itemized music receipts to the credit card company (and don't typically allow giftcards). buying in person is nice, but harder to get new music.

any tips?

Buy CDs. Fun and affordable if your music tastes can be found in thrift stores.

See if your local record store will order in new releases or otherwise for you on CD. Mine does and it's not a very large store.

From there, rip to a computer where you either copy it to a mobile device for listening or self host your own streaming service such as Navidrome or Jellyfin.

The streaming service is easy to self host and I'd love to give more details. You can also "borrow your friend's CDs to rip them" and stream content that you didn't necessarily pay for.

rip to a computer

99% of new PCs lack a CD drive.

You don't have to buy an entire new pc for that.
