All extremely true, but the damn friction when buying tracks there... (jwz put it best [1])
> If I put 6 albums in my cart and check out, you make me enter my credit card info SIX TIMES. This is insane. You realize this is insane, don't you?
> You have used Amazon, right? Click once, receive candy. You need to be like that.
(Maybe they fixed it? Haven't bought multiple items at once in a while)
Also I would gladly pay for SoundCloud if most of the money actually went to the artists (if any SC pm is still listening).

- tux3 4y agoThey must have fixed it, I buy a lot of stuff on bandcamp and I've only entered my card once. The only friction is waiting a few second per track for them to prepare my 12 flac downloads, clicking through payment only takes a second or so.
- alisonatwork 4y agoI had the payment problem the other day and it's because I wanted to pay with PayPal. It seems if you use a card they can roll together all the items, but PayPal can't. My biggest frustration is not being able to download a zip file of all the tracks I just bought. Going one by one is tedious, especially because I tend to download both a FLAC for backup and 320 for everyday listening.
