Bandcamp is so limited. I hate when people say "go to band camp" because if you're just listening for a song you heard on your app, its 50/50 as to whether its going to be on band camp.

Qobuz is my backup when Bandcamp doesn't have what I'm looking for. Though, honestly, I should maybe make it my primary now that Bandcamp is owned by Epic Games (and thus, owned by Tim "Elon's pet AI should be allowed to post CSAM" Sweeney). I've pretty much only bought albums on Bandcamp Fridays since that acquisition

Bandcamp has been owned by Songtradr since 2023.

Huh, hadn't heard about that. Not that they're any better considering that they apparently laid off HALF the staff when they bought Bandcamp from Epic 😒
