I sympathize with this experience, but I’m not quite sure why you “need” to quit your streaming services in order to achieve the desired effect. I almost exclusively use Spotify, but I use it to listen to new releases from artists I like, listen to way more albums then I could afford to buy physically, and check out music my friends recommend to me. You don’t have to use streaming services as a playlist aggregator, there’s nothing stopping you from actively enjoying music on there.
I think I’m on the verge of leaving. If I had spent the 10 bucks a month on a cd instead of my spotify account for as long as I’ve been on Spotify, my music collection would be about the size of all the albums in my current rotation and I would have been supporting the artists directly instead of the pittance spotify pays them. I’ve started buying cds I listen to on spotify regularly, but haven’t dropped the subscription yet. Baby steps.
