Hello there 👋
I am following the path of decreasing dependency on US products myself, and I was wondering if there is any real alternative for bandcamp? Meaning, the one that would be a proper marketplace for niche music creators, that would allow DRM-free downloads and streaming at the same time.
Bottom line: I do want to pay for music I like to support musicians, though I want to do it in a way that would allow me to listen to their work in a way I like the most.
Some already mentioned Qobuz. I started using it about a month ago, as Spotify paid to Trump’s inauguration and sponsored some party for him. Qobuz pays artists a lot better then Spotify does, the streams are high quality, and it’s a French company. Also they have a very good service to transfer all your spotify artists, playlists, songs etc towards Qobuz.
