How Bandcamp became the "headquarters" for video game soundtracks

  I a world of subscription services, Bandcamp’s a breath of fresh air. You pay, you own it. You can download it and store it wherever you want and play it to your heart’s content. Their cut is reasonable and the artists are well paid, it feels great to own stuff and reward the people making it.

    They also do Bandcamp Fridays! These are the dates where all of the revenue goes directly to artists, without the usual 15% share for Bandcamp. Here is the list for this year if anyone’s curious.

      Gonna jump in and say if you want to support a small artist, and fairly active Lemmy user, I’m on Bandcamp and just posted week one of a two week track-a-day competition:

      You can hear all the tracks so far here:

      P. S. I’m only doing this because this is one of my most active times of the year!

  Fun fact, Bandcamp was started after this one time, at band camp…someone made a mix tape called “Quickflip Tricks Mix '96”

  'ate Beatport

  'ate Juno (because both charge extra for wav/aiff/flac)

  Love Bandcamp.

    Can you explain more on those artists? I can’t find them and never saw anyone charging more for FLAC? Or is it outside of Bandcamp? So many questions?

  Yeah, good luck getting me to use Bandcamp. Wavlake is where my producer, Neigsendoig, went ahead and posted his VGM soundtracks.
