Currently I listen to almost all of my music through YouTube Music, but I want to actually buy some albums from some of my favorite bands (sabaton, gloryhammer, twilight force, etc.). What form do they usually come in, and how do y'all listen to and manage them on either desktop or mobile?

I usually just listen through Spotify, but for the albums I have bought physically, I usually rip them into FLAC files using fre:ac. Once I have the files, I place them in a cloud synced folder for backup, and in the Music folder on my desktop. I then use Clementine to play them, which gives a nice GUI from the metadata of the FLAC files. I also have a copy of all the albums on my phone, which I usually listen to through either VLC or "USB Audio Player Pro" (which, despite the name, is actually a good app).
