Buy CDs from the artists you like, and then rip them to .flac using Exact Audio Copy! 😁

I use Bandcamp and usually will wait for the days they give artists 100% of the revenue and buy everything I’ve been waiting on. You get a flac download so you can secure your purchase in case the site shuts down later, but you also have access to streaming.

Bandcamp is great too! I’ve downloaded everything I’ve bought from there, but one artist deleted their page and now I can’t download what I purchased anymore. That’s the only negative I can think about.

Yeah I get that. That’s why I immediately download all purchases and back them up off site as well.

Plus, Bandcamp will also recommend new music and related artists. The recommended artists at the bottom of a band/artists’s page are listed by the artist themselves, so you can pursue music that inspired the music you like.

Yeah and even the front page recommendations are so much better than anything Spotify ever gave me. Bandcamp is how I found one of my all time favorite bands, Zeal & Ardor.
