A growing number of sites permit free downloading of music (audio, video, sheet). I suggest you store files in your Apple Music library with as complete labeling as you desire. There are also many sites that stream radio stations. You should be as selective as possible in format choice (MP4a and AAC files are larger but sound better than MP3). [the links below are for classical music, but many other genre are also online].
Apple’s Music (for searching and archiving) is now part of the Catalina OS (for desktops and laptops), and available in their AppStore as iOS for tablets and cellphones.
