Is there a DOI equivalent for identifying music tracks?
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Identifier > One of MusicBrainz' aims is to be the universal lingua franca for music by providing a reliable and unambiguous form of music identification; this music identification is performed through the use of MusicBrainz Identifiers (MBIDs).

I've been doing this, and here in Canada https://ca.7digital.com/ is literally the only option I've found that let's you buy normal MP3s, would highly recommend. I've been able to get modern albums without a hitch, but don't know about modern singles. I think in the US Amazon let's you buy MP3s, but not sure there. For the price of a Spotify subscription, I can usually buy a new album every month! Which is great; and…
While it’s more of a treasure hunt, I really enjoy browsing for and buying physical CDs, especially second hand. Albums are often $1, they sound as good as when they were released and they’re easily convertible to any other audio format, including lossless, 16-bit, 44.1khz formats. The only thing better is SACD, but finding that is like a diamond in the rough and ripping it is its own challenge unless you have the ri…
The CD was so clean and clear but not in a robotic way. (I don't think this album had fallen victim to the loudness war either, fwiw.) Whereas the record sounded "warm" but also a little muddy and quiet (not in a good way) in comparison. I know there could be any number of reasons for this but that's also part of the problem. Was my setup dialed in and this is how it was supposed to sound? Or, was the table not flat? Was the needle dirty? Was the tracking force off? Yes, it's fun to tweak these variables but ... it's also fun to just listen to music that sounds excellent with zero effort.
I've started buying CDs again (to my spouse's chagrin) and have no regrets. I do need to start ripping them before discrot comes for them. For anyone in the market, library sales are an excellent option to, essentially, buy CDs by the pound. They also often have rare compilations and anthologies that you won't find in thrift stores.

To be fair, so was Reaperducer, with the "Only if your taste in music is very narrow" bit.
I'd love to actually buy music and store it myself, as I've started noticing more and more that some of the songs I have on Spotify have started to disappear, but I find it very difficult to buy modern music anymore. Most gets released as singles, and as far as I know, to only streaming platforms. Is there a way to still buy the same kind of music that is on streaming platforms, and actually get the audio files?

I just went to Amazon and found what's advertised as "mp3" for a recent Taylor Swift album.

Personally, I have a TIDAL subscription, download everything I like from there, and then store everything on a Plex server. While not legal, having the subscription fix any moral problems I’d have with the idea.

Even though the correct album art appeared on the site.
Actually none of the songs I put it are working. Is this what it's supposed to do? Find songs with similar titles?

Bandcamp and Qobuz have been my only options for anything in lossless quality. Everything else is shitty compressed MP3s.

Or just buy off Bandcamp if its an option.

Most gets released as singles, and as far as I know, to only streaming platforms. Analog hole. It takes a bit of time, but if you really care about the music, it's worth it. Note: I suspect that the streaming services watermark the songs. I have some from Apple Music that it refuses to sync over its cloud service. Doesn't bother me, though, because I primarily sync via wire.
