AAC is the successor to MP3 and a joint development by many companies, but Apple is not among them.
It's also actively developed today and is the gold standard for digital audio.

2) or you are pirate copying which could become a problem
3) or you are spending a hundred times more money buying new CDs or individual songs
Clearly even free tier Spotify is a better option.
And forget about Tidal. It works as with other horror stories you have heard about US-owned services like Google, Outlook, PayPal etc. one day your account is locked for no reason and no explanation given.

I keep all my music in mp3 files since 2006. I never lost a single track and I have all my music divided into genres.
I don't even imagine paying for music service.
My tracks can be put into any device as I please.

Get rid of Spotify and download your music one by one. Keep local real files. You won't lose them even if you die.

Those poor people.
If we reduce salary to Spotify CEO and main people in charge by lets say 50% they can save several millions every month.
Nobody deserve milllions in salary for doing nothing just sacking people.

Youtube music could have been better with their option to upload your own music, but the 5000 song limit foir playlists ruins it. On Spotify you can actually add up to 11 000. It is 10 000 only if you use the app.
