The reason I gave up on MP3's and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I've been listening "Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds" song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I'm trying to find "Stremio" of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I'm looking for:

Synchronization between devices
Offline play
Playlist support
Both desktop and mobile apps
Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

I much prefer to download music as flac and keep them local but i have 2 issues.

Finding new musis is hard because i am rarely exposed to it.

Music i like tends to be more obscure and harder to find a flac download for.

Ive started to use Spotify this year for those reasons but i hate it. I would love an alternative.

Spotify is pretty much the only quality tool to learn about new music which fits your taste. Google services tend to disappear after a while, like Google Music did, and the only other option is Apple Music I guess, but I've never used it, so not sure.

I remember the days before Spotify still: downloading gigs of music, only 1% is ok, loads of time wasted. Fuck it, I'll pay for Spotify and then download what I like for permanent collection. My time is a lot more worth than a subscription fee.
