To be honest, song file sizes are of least concern in the age of hdd drives that are multi-TB for $100. I can easily store lossless formats and then use playlists to convert to a more portable format.
What I really need is a way to be notified of releases from bands I want to track, and rate songs that I both do and do not own so I know what to ignore or investigate further. Of course this needs to be via something I myself can optionally own/manage, not just through a third party that will enshittify.

I’m not a huge fan of e-mail so I convert all my Bandcamp emails to RSS[1] which I self host with fresh RSS. I have found that my wishlist on Bandcamp has grown to over 500 albums as I mostly use it as a “to listen to” list. But I find I need a place to rate and comment privately on my wishlist. I recently wrote an app called camp counselor[2] to help me manage my wishlist.
