"Buying" media with drm is a mistake.
I buy books from audible sometimes, but I immediately rip the drm out. Use Plex to store your movies and TV shows, it does music ok too now.
Give Jellyfin a try too. I switched to that from Plex after I realised they were trying to charge me money to use hardware transcoding on my own hardware.
Unless your main TV client is a Playstation. Client support is Jellyfin's biggest weakness, and why plex is more popular.
JF works fine on tons of devices, the ps5 just kind of sucks as a media player.
