@creamqueen @waifu Sure there is. Put the MP3 into vlc, press play.

What you are assuming is not practical is "having access to a MP3" which is pure lunacy

There is nothing unique about 'today's day and age' that prevents you from having access to MP3s, vlc or clicking play on vlc

you just want to give your mindshare to copyright-restricted music, and your money to the RIAA/Spotify. That makes you a threat to the rest of the free internet.
