Use youtube-dl to download the music... the main problem is that downloading it over and over again and having the server-infrastructure to do so (so called streaming) is really energy and server-hardware intensive.

Well, if you build a network ziggurat with your neighbors and have edge servers caching the content (e.g. with Invidious), you can probably reduce power usage.

I just did before reading your comment and it is easier than I expected. Last week, I found out the other app I use to download had shut down.
