I like to keep my music as plain FLACs. Usually I get them via Bandcamp (for smaller artists), Steam (for game OSTs, if they have it) and, until recently, from 7digital (for larger artists).

But 7digital is seemingly not keeping up with their site. It had some link-rot when I first registered there, but by now it's borderline unusable. I send a mail to ask if they intend to do any upkeep which went unanswered for 2 weeks now. So I guess I'll have to find a better solution.

Are there any recommendations for a good provider? Bonus points if they are good with their artists and don't send any spam/ads per mail. ^^

(I searched for a short bit, but the top results are AI slop and the definitly human written ones are 4 years old. So I thought I might just ask.)

Maybe Tidal? I know it's advertised with focus on the quality, but haven't used it myself.

You might also consider buying the music on whatever service seems more ethical and then pirating the flacs. I've had to do that with some games that, comically enough, didn't run on my machine when installed from Steam, but did in pirate versions.

isn't tidal streaming only?

Reportedly they offer 96 kHz at 24-bit, but idk if there's a way to download it.
