Comment on YSK: Bandcamp is waiving its fees today and all money is passed to the artist (until 12 a.m. PST)

I went looking today to see if I could transfer Spotify or Deezer playlists and how much it would cost to buy all the tracks but the first few I checked were unavailable 😔

Bigger acts are less likely to be on it but any smaller artists will likely be there.

It’s a lot more indie, honestly

If you ever find that an artist on other platforms isn't on Bandcamp, you'll usually find them on Qobuz's Download Store since that's a common place that they also tend to publish.

It's a little less convenient than Bandcamp, and is often a little more randomly priced across artists and even individual songs from an artist, but if your goal is to compensate them and get a high quality audio download, it'll be another option.

They also have a streaming offering with way better payout rates for artists at what tends to be around $0.01873 per stream as of last year, in case you're not ready to ditch streaming, though I can't speak to how good it is as I haven't tried it myself.

There’s software that let’s you easily download your music/playlists to your hard drive. I forget what it’s called tho

  I could but I would also like to pay the artists (if it’s not gonna bankrupt me)

    Absolutely, same here, but if there’s music that I simply couldn’t find and pay for then I would just use that

  Actual downloadable software or just a website?
  
  I've heard of Soundiiz before for migrating playlists to something like YouTube, though it's paid for larger playlists, and after that yt-dlp will work well for the now non-DRM protected playlists on sites like YouTube Music, but not on DRM-protected ones like Spotify, or ones that only show samples by default like Deezer.
