- 0xEF 2y agoYou can still find some artists on Bandcamp that release on mini disc. Whenever I see them, I buy one to try and help encourage more artists to do this. And of course, many artists release on cassette. I have an album from Dirty Art Club on it's way to add to my cassette collection as we speak. My collection has grown considerably in the two-ish years I've been using Bandcamp, despite the sad controversy.

Much more convenient to Cary around than CDs, geat audio quality. The only downside, imho, is when I’m on vacation I like looking at second hand places and if I find a some CDs I can’t play them until I get home. I really miss the CD deck in cars.
