The only way to beat the value proposition of music streaming services is piracy. If you’re not willing to torrent then nothing will ever top Spotify. People who use these types of libraries are usually pirating at least a majority of their music if not all. Even then, discovery is a challenge and requires a decent amount of effort to make it even approximate the level of discoverability you get with streaming services, but it is possible[0]. That said, private trackers offer a level of archival quality that you cannot get with streaming. I recently was listening to a bit of ska/rocksteady/early reggae and Spotify had abysmal coverage of old albums compared to YouTube and private trackers. I think the best solution is probably Apple Music since you can at least fill the gaps in the service by uploading your own music, however you want to get it.
