  • Sure, I also have a similar subscription for my wife as I'd rather pay than subject her to more ads. We're all surviving under capitalism. I just ask that you throw a little cash at the independent artists. Thanks for considering. You deserve a better product.

  • I blame both capitalism and the capitalist subscription streaming service.

  • $14 for a good album + a good beverage makes a good ~45 minutes.

  • hah, no i love punk and repetitive hooks. the first Beatles album has super short tracks too. i'm just saying that subscription streaming pushes everything else out.

  • 0.01% of artists are performing artists. even less make a profit touring. i can break that down for you if you want.

  • You can listen to an album on Bandcamp for free. Who's buying an album before listening to it?

  • the first paragraph:

    Streaming has revived the worst trope of the old music industry: the album that is just "two hits and a bunch of crap."

  • Bandcamp is a much better experience for listening to a whole album compare to Spotify.

  • there's a massive backlog of bandcamp radio sessions that I know you've never heard.

  • You might want to learn how techno is made. Analog kitchen has a class on live techno shows where everything is made at the show. They even go into DMX lighting and how to program it along with clip launching.

    Once you know more than the surface level of a genre you can easily spot artificial slop. Like most things AI, it's good enough to sound convincing yet be fundamentally wrong.

  • My static website uses https://faircamp.org/ for the playlisting but it's the exact same on VLC. We don't need to over complicate this unless that's the fun part.

  • I upload as FLAC and they convert it to lossy for smaller files and compatibility. https://faircamp.org/ will also do the conversion for my static website.

  • Bandcamp does not permit the sale of AI generated music, "wholly or in substantial part". https://blog.bandcamp.com/2026/01/13/keeping-bandcamp-human/

    We'll see if they'll stick with that policy but Bandcamp hasn't really changed in the last 15 years. They could have easily increased their cut to match Spotify and Apple Music but they haven't.

    If you're looking for casual consumption, https://bandcamp.com/radio offers human curated radio where the DJ puts songs into context.

  • You can use VLC to open a bandcamp album url to play the album for free as many times as you want.

  • If you are referring to my original post, I have received a similar reaction from the producer and artist communities where I shared it: most people feel I am preaching to the choir. I have no doubt most people just read the headline.

  • give https://bandcamp.com/radio a try for discovery. human curated and the DJs give songs some context so it's not just someone's playlist.

    you can also listen to a whole album on bandcamp for free. VLC and IINA both open bandcamp URLs as playlists and can be listened to as many times as you'd like.

  • thank you for listening; that's high praise as I absolutely love both aphex twin and autechre. i try to avoid the vinyl toxicity but i have a few CDs and cassettes without a player. most of my collection is on steam with bandcamp growing.

    https://bandcamp.com/radio has been my goto for finding new music lately.

  • Subscription streaming will never pay an artist the same amount of money per person as an album sale.
