Random question - anyone know a good site to buy digital music that pays the artists somewhat decently? I’ve got a few artists I need to get albums from after bailing on Spotify and they aren’t on Bandcamp and don’t has album sales linked to their official sites. Hell, even physical copies of some albums are hard to come by in the US.

I saw “7Digital” mentioned somewhere but I see there multiple listings for the same album at different prices (literally the exact same album, exact same quality) which makes me suspect it’s not as legit as I had hoped.

I tend to use Bandcamp, they have a thing on the first Friday of every month where they give a bigger cut to artists if you buy that day.

I use tidal - they get a much better chunk out of the profits. There’s another new one out there but I can’t recall it’s nsm

  It seems Tidal is streaming only. There is Qobuz but I hear them mentioned by people looking for Hi-Fi. Their streaming service seems to pay higher than average.
  
  I guess I’ll just have to assume the compensation is decent for digital purchases as well. Having Hi-Fi audio quality doesn’t hurt - I can always transcode it if I need to stream or convert it if I need to cram it in a small storage device.
