Bandcamp is amazing. The terms are easy to understand, the pricing is fair, the audio quality is guaranteed (they require uploads to be CD-quality lossless foiles, as a minimum) and it's super easy for the musicians to manage tagging and even physical merch sales.
It's exactly how music sales and distribution should be done.
