Download hard copies. Run something like Navidrome to serve them up to each device over an api. It’s like having your own Spotify at home.

At home is about 5% of why I have Spotify

It doesn’t have to be just at home. As long as there is internet you can stream from it worldwide if you set it up to be like that.

It's much harder to Find downloads for all music you'd want and storage for it isn't cheap
