What alternatives do you guys use besides Bandcamp? I am open to paying a sub as long as the artist is getting a decent cut.
buy the cd and rip them into your phone
Just because you liked that in 2000 doesn't mean that two decades later, it's still ideal.
It's pretty much one of the only ways to make sure the artist gets a half decent cut though.
Unless you want to use bandcamp, which is much easier.
For now, didn't they just get bought out by another entity?
Bought out by EPIC, sadly.... we'll see where things go...
Not anymore, EPIC sold it to Songtradr

I hate epic, but I also can't tell if this is good or bad... my statement stands: we'll see.
Well songtradr did essentially fire a lot of staff.
