One of the plan was to offer a bundled experience to the labels: you sell a physical media and the customer gets a code to add the album to their streaming library so they can also consume it digitally.
Edit/PS: It really feels strange arguing for an idea, I've given up on so long ago...
- adolph 4y agoTo think of a totally different possible trajectory of a technology is a bit like reading counterhistorical fiction. The interesting part isn’t just the assertion of something different but in considering the various second order effects.
- nemomarx 4y agoHonestly, this is a lot of what I like about bandcamp. (I really hope that epic buying them isn't a bad sign, on that note...) It's nice to get a cd or a cassette, with some fancy holofoil cover on it, a little artifact of a band I like, and still have it on my phone, in my browser, whenever I want to listen to it. I could dig out the actual equipment to play those things directly, but usually that's a pain, and I just want to have them as a totem or something.
