Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify? (lemy.lol)

The reason I gave up on MP3's and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I've been listening "Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds" song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I'm trying to find "Stremio" of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I'm looking for:

Synchronization between devices
Offline play
Playlist support
Both desktop and mobile apps
Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

I much prefer to download music as flac and keep them local but i have 2 issues.

Finding new musis is hard because i am rarely exposed to it.

Music i like tends to be more obscure and harder to find a flac download for.

Ive started to use Spotify this year for those reasons but i hate it. I would love an alternative.

Spotify is pretty much the only quality tool to learn about new music which fits your taste. Google services tend to disappear after a while, like Google Music did, and the only other option is Apple Music I guess, but I've never used it, so not sure.

I remember the days before Spotify still: downloading gigs of music, only 1% is ok, loads of time wasted. Fuck it, I'll pay for Spotify and then download what I like for permanent collection. My time is a lot more worth than a subscription fee.

I've had better luck with Tidal's recommendations. Spotify just kept playing me covers and live music on my weekly and it was driving me crazy.

It’s the opposite for me.
