- ploika 4y agoYou can (almost) always buy CDs and rip them. I'd be mildly surprised if an artist was selling music without either a presence on Bandcamp or a store on their own website that you could download from. I'm certain I've bought a handful of albums from Amazon and Google over the years that I've put onto various phones and MP3 players. Is that not possible anymore?
- Jaruzel 4y agoAmazon still let you download DRM free MP3s for any music you've bought (well, as a Prime customer I still can, maybe it's different for non-Prime). I still buy CDs. That way the music is mine, and no-one can suddenly delete the CD from my bookshelf without my consent. I rip the CDs lossless, then de-jewel-case the CD and put the disc and inlay into an acid-neutral storage bag, and seal it. I can't do hi-bitrate music like this (unless I want to rip BluRay albums) but at my age, it's not like I still have a high-fidelity hearing ability anyway.
