i know i know bandcamp is evil whatever. something about this just feels right. the clean interface. memories of youth. the scrobbles w my scrobbling app are more consistent than spotify's godawful built in scrobbler too. i love giving money to people when i can.

I switched from spotify almost a year ago- it felt weird at first but I couldn't imagine going back. I buy myself 1 cd a month off bandcamp like a little treat- costs the same as a monthly spotify subscription AND now you get to own the physical media AND the original high quality wav files that the artist uploaded themselves. Spotify, Apple, and yt cut sound quality significantly and listening to the same albums on bandcamp feels like hearing it all for the first time. Also the artists actually get the money you pay, bandcamp only takes a very small portion. Ik not all artists are on bandcamp tho, so for that I'll go onto YouTube with an adblocker. Now i have a great cd collection and I never worry about ads

i refused to use streaming services at all for a long time because i wanted a sense of ownership over my music library (even if in a nebulous digital kinda way) & i would say it’s great for so many reasons , it’s slightly more inconvenient but it’s honestly pretty easy to just download music from bandcamp/rip from cds/torrenting sites & manually put it into your phone from itunes. you get to think a bit more about what you’re putting in your library (or from your library into your phone) but you also get to hold onto things in a certain version & protect your archive from the whims of streaming services & copyright claims .

if you refuse subscription, then buy music! you'll be supporting the artists directly as well

if it was good enough for you as a kid it's good enough for you now. major bonus points if it's raining lightly.
