Bandcamp's support is awesome as well.
In a previous era, I would stream my library from an old Mac to my laptop via iTunes Shared Libraries, with most of my collection being in Apple Lossless. However, ALAC files from Bandcamp wouldn't stream.
Core Audio described the tracks from Bandcamp as "not optimized". Apple closed the radar (http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=2014403 http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=2014403) as a duplicate without any indication of what was wrong. Bandcamp took a look at the issue and changed their transcoding pipeline to ensure they generated "optimized" ALAC files.
I still buy albums from Bandcamp, but with iTunes compatibility no longer a concern, I now download the FLAC versions. To be different I then losslessly transcode to WavPack, but that's a discussion for another forum.
