A lot of artists these days dont even sell their songs. Its kind of frustrating but soulseek is always there to fill that gap.

Sometimes I like to purchase music, for artists that I’m a big fan of and want to financially support.

unless you're buying music on CDs directly from the artists, you aren't purchasing music, you're leasing access to it from corporations like Spotify or Apple. even music you "buy", you don't actually own, per their terms of service, as they did not sell the music to you, they sold access to it, and they retain the right to restrict or remove your access to it at any time.
terms you agreed to, of course.

Yeah, I buy CDs or vinyl quite often. I’ve got a few cassette tapes kicking around too. Bandcamp is also a good option to genuinely purchase the digital files
