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.

    Bandwagon looks cool, but do they have a feature to pay artists like bandcamp? Or even a “name your price (aka quasi free)”?

      Under the “coming soon” section, they state the following:

      We’re deep into building the Bandwagon Roadmap, including even better music discovery and publishing tools And online album sales are close behind.

      So it seems the idea is to provide a way for artists to sell their albums. I’m curious what it’ll look like in practice - I guess they’re still trying to work that out themselves as well. :)
