        I want the bands to get some money. I buy from bandcamp when musicians are sensible enough to sell on there, or on their sites.

          I wish list stuff until a Bandcamp Friday comes around where artists get all the money. I’ve stopped buying physical media, so waiting on a digital purchase isn’t an issue for me.

              Dude Bandcamp had been sold twice and the product has not changed from a user experience and I only use Bandcamp at this point…I will say you NEED to download anything you buy to archive your collection but at the moment Bandcamp still pays bands, still allows unlimited streaming and still amazing.

              Do I expect it to remain amazing…nope, but for now it’s still amazing.

              The site is still the same, you still get your music to download, the band still gets most of the money. 100% still a point in using them.

      I love buying CDs on eBay.

      I also love buying direct downloads from artists.

      There are three morbillion songs and I have no idea which ones I like. Streaming platforms became popular for a reason

        Yeah most people don’t care to maintain a local music library. It’s a lot of work and compared to streaming services that do it for you this offers no real benefit. If you listen to lots of new/different music all the time, streaming is actually far cheaper.
