Streaming is not frugal by definition since you don't own anything.

  1. Buy from Bandcamp, own and stream forever for a cheap price
  2. Torrent movies
  3. Torrent or Soulseek music
  4. Listen to podcasts, there are billions of those, it will last forever
  5. Free music on SomaFM, ByteFM, Radio Paradise, Shoutcast, etc.
  6. YouTube client like NewPipe if you have Android to listen to music

Soulseek is love, Soulseek is life.
