minus-squareJo Miran@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45·7 days agoBuy music directly from artists. Plenty of them sell their tracks online.
minus-squaremagusfungus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·7 days agoCan’t recommend Bandcamp fridays enough.
minus-squareNighed@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·7 days agoThat requires you to buy all your music though, for those (like me) that own basically nothing, it’s crazy to change. They need to force the free streaming of owned tracks or something. Qobuz allows this I think, but only if you buy through them.
