We've been here before. Remember mp3.com? For those who don't, imagine if somebody bought Bandcamp and then deleted all of the music.
Sigh. I guess it's time to go download FLAC copies of everything I have on Bandcamp.
Goddamnit, Internet. Get your shit together.
Or the ownership you defend. You won't like how you'll have to defend it, though.
It won't be the pen.
Beyond just music, bandcamp is a great site to buy and sell (as a musician or indie label) physical merchandise.
Independent musicians and labels rely on bandcamp. Most alternatives are cost prohibitive to "small" bands.
Any you could share a link to? I'm always on the hunt for new music and I love metal.
eMusic as well. Still seems to be around, but I don't see it as being viable anymore the way things are going.
I remember subscribing to eMusic for some number of song downloads a month and downloading stuff from artists I'd never heard of to use up my downloads at the end of the month. All MP3s, still got them and still listen to them once in a while.
Definitely. I found so many unknown artists from their human-curated recommendations that you just won't find on the streaming services anymore. I rely on KEXP for new music now, which is great, but just kinda...slower I guess.
