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.

    Here to vouch for Qobuz. They’ve had quite a few artists that Bandcamp has not had, and they pay artists well. DRM-free too. The only hassle is bulk downloading (I use a tampermonkey script to help with this). Its not possible with the website(unless you use a script) and requires their proprietary downloader app which doesn’t support Linux yet.
