Indeed! I just made a comment the other day praising Bandcamp Fridays, myself.
Note about FLAC: A lot of times it’s just the 320k MP3 transcoded by BC’s backend. There isn’t really a good way to tell from the frontend which artists actually give FLACs from the masters, gotta check the file metadata. Not a super huge deal unless you have an audiophile type of setup or care about that kinda thing, though.
Still, better than any other streaming service that gives pennies to the artist, and you can actually download what you buy… with the option to buy physical copies as well. Dunno why this isn’t a more popular method to obtain music.
A Bandcamp link. A fellow gentleman of culture, I see.
It really is the only place to buy digital music where musicians get a fair cut and you can get DRM-free FLACs.
Always be on the lookout for Bandcamp Fridays where 100% of the sale (still, for now) goes to the artist.
The new ownership is still questionable but otherwise Bandcamp still seems the best place to go.
