I buy music on bandcamp/directly from artists all the time. I just dislike streaming services, as I always want to have the files, and the money artists get from them is abbyssmal anyway.
Bandcamp my friend!
Mull is a Firefox hardened browser that works perfectly out of the box.
You don't get high quality mp3s from that.
The thing is, you barely support the artists you're listening to when you use spotify.
I guess that will do if the kind of music you listen to doesn't need to be high quality.
Spotify doesn't do shit for the artists.
I do when I can afford to, but you can't really buy every song you listen to, can you?
Yeah fuck those traders and scammers. Soulseek isn't created for that shit.
Did you know that it has a Steam version now which is so much more accessible?
Yeah I'm sure artists enjoy their 0.003 cents per stream a lot.
Heyyyy it's my fellow dubstep enjoyer! Yeah those vinyl exclusive is such a pain.
I'm not advocating piracy as a way to support artists, but a way to fight against the big corps/streaming platforms/the system that just take the majority of revenue for themselves while hurting both the consumers and the creators. As I replied to other comments, I try to look for ways to directly support artists individually whenever I can.
It use P2P network so I don't think you need VPN for it...? IDK I'm not an expert.
Obligatory Dwarf Fortress (I'm a DF simp). But also:
Against The Storm
Clanfolk
Foundation
Going Medieval
KeeperRL (This is a weird one)
The first time I heard this song
https://soundcloud.com/blacklabelnsd/mastadon-rip (MASTADON - RIP)
I was blown away at how insane it is, like how could anyone ever make something like this at all is bewildering to me. The song structure and sounds didn't even make sense to me at first.
But now this genre of music is the thing I love the most. This song is my absolute favorite of all time.
Yessir
Keeping FLAC is such a hassle, it's not even worth.
Yep, still going strong
I have people download my files on soulseek/nicotine+ daily. Plus anyone that would pirate music probably already know how to rip it straight from streaming services.
