On the PC I use SpotX for spotify. It basically removes all the ads in the free version. You can use similar things on phones, but I don't bother with that.
Of course you still don't own anything, but it's free to use. I can live with that, especially since I'm not super into various artists / music.
I'm into progressive house, so for music on the way I just rip a youtube set of my favourite artists to mp3 and play those. Using youtube-dl for that. They release stuff like that often enough to keep me satisfied.
Oh and I am a patreon subscriber for one artist and get some songs there. Usually unreleased / earlier versions of songs.
