Personally just use foobar2000 with my music player and download my music on Bandcamp. I understand some people may find that inconvenient but supporting the artist is important to me.
So, how does the Bandcamp thing work? Can you pay for files that you download and then own?
Absolutely, and you can download them in many formats. For example, very good quality FLAC files.
Yep, pretty much a digital music store. You pay money, you get the music file, often mp3 or lossless, your choice.
And on Fridays all of the money goes to the artist or label (depending on who is actually running the page) and nothing goes to bandcamp themselves. Which is strange but okay.
I wish foobar was on Linux

I remember I had a Slipknot song that had a weird audio glitch you could only hear with headphones on. Like a sudden very loud sucking sound. Scared the shit outta me several times.
Use Lidarr with Usenet
Soulseek is more than enough when it comes to music in my experience.
Soulseek is fantastic.

Bear Share ftw
Do they make a wrapped for downloading music from YT and fixing the metadata with Picard?
