Bandcamp really is a fantastic company. There are some barriers to listening to music on it directly (some intentional) but I've found so much great music through their recommendations.
I still pay for streaming due to the convenience of typing most songs and playing it instantly... but if I like something enough to click the heart button I'll often hop over to Bandcamp to see if I can pay the artist more than the $.0001 they get for the stream. Even dropping someone a dollar is literally 10,000 times more support.
- zorr 5y agoThis is the way. I also use Spotify because it makes most of my music available instantly on all of my devices and the discovery is good enough. But that $150 for Spotify is only a small fraction of my yearly music spend. With most of it going to concert tickets, merch at concerts and merch/downloads on Bandcamp to support the artists I like. Spotify and Bandcamp are not mutually exclusive
- micromacrofoot 5y agoYeah exactly, and with covid making concerts uncomfortable for me for the foreseeable future I've just been doubling down on bandcamp and merch purchases (but wow I miss live music).
