Yes, yes buy. Do not sail the high seas.
I want the bands to get some money. I buy from bandcamp when musicians are sensible enough to sell on there, or on their sites.
I wish list stuff until a Bandcamp Friday comes around where artists get all the money. I've stopped buying physical media, so waiting on a digital purchase isn't an issue for me.
Bandcamp was sold off, no point using them going forward.
The site is still the same, you still get your music to download, the band still gets most of the money. 100% still a point in using them.
Dude Bandcamp had been sold twice and the product has not changed from a user experience and I only use Bandcamp at this point...I will say you NEED to download anything you buy to archive your collection but at the moment Bandcamp still pays bands, still allows unlimited streaming and still amazing.
Do I expect it to remain amazing...nope, but for now it's still amazing.
For now, they still provide DRM free downloads in FLAC. And they still pay the artists on the Fridays. I'll continue using it till they inevitably fuck it up.
I’ve almost never paid a cent for music.
My concert ticket stack is thicc though, and I have SOOOOO MANY hoodies, t-shirts, cups, and random bullshit. I’m not paying for DRM, but you can’t DRM a comfy zip-up!
Don’t give them any ideas
Or pirate the music, then send some money in an envelope to the artists themselves.
Or pirate the music, then go to a concert or buy some merch.
Absolutely. Even if you pirate from some, and buy whole albums from a few when you can afford it, you're supporting artists instead of the shareholders of tech goon overlords.
Me too...I'm at 1500+ albums. But I do download them too for when the sad times to come...
piracy is not stealing if buying isn’t owning
What.cd
I'm so glad nothing has replaced what.cd yet...
If there was though, what do you think it would be called? I would like to avoid it at all costs and continue to buy subscriptions
I'm afraid that that information has had to be [redacted]. Choose another path.
Lidarr is pretty keen if you already have sonarr and radar running.
Am I the only one who finds it super annoying, that "detection through sound waves" (Sonar) does video things while "detection through light" (lidar) does the sound things?
WHY?! Swap names already! It's driving me nuts!
I find the choice of name for Readarr more annoying, since we already had Radarr
Why use a private tracker when soulseek allegedly exists? There are also Telegram bots that can allegedly download FLACs from Deezer
Private trackers are dope for very fast flac album downloads.
SLSK is godly for rare stuff.
No need for Telegram bots. There are both proprietary and open source apps that you can use to do this yourself. Check out https://rentry.org/firehawk52 and https://ripped.guide/Audio/Music/
RIP what… was there for a decade. It was godly. Your other reply knows what’s up. So does the god Orpheus, he knows some heady chunes
Oink. Waffles.
Wait…..
Or both Bandcamp for the win
