As of today, I am no longer subscribed to any streaming music platforms. I dropped Spotify last year, and today I dropped Tidal.
I have an awesome and growing vinyl collection. I ripped all my CDs and have my entire digital music library on both my iPod and Plex.
I'm content with this decision. In fact I'm EXCITED about it, because I'll be spending more time enjoying and loving the heaps of music I already own.
As for discovery? Recommendations, Bandcamp, and good old fashioned music blogs.

in reply to Jerry Orr • • •@jerryorr Oh, I promise to! In fact I want to get those revived and running again.
(I don't have a grudge against Spotify or Tidal so I'll keep publishing playlists there, as well as my OWN music!)

Also I already bought CDs where I messed up the artists because or similar names and discovered new bands the way.

I guess that's "normal" for cities with universities and big cities in Germany. But smaller cities don't have that.

Not sure whether that still exists and whether Saturn has stores in Zagreb.
I can't find an English version of their website, so probably not: https://www.saturn.de/

As for music discovery, I’ve found YouTube, Pandora, and terrestrial radio to be useful as well. All of which can be used for free.

in reply to Mike Rockwell • • •@mike It has been YEARS since I used Pandora, but their discovery algorithm is kinda what started it all, right?
I might revisit it, thanks.

Now we cruise the DVD CD bins at Goodwill, and donate them back after adding to the hard drive. Only found a couple additions so far, but worth the time.
