Love the idea of bandcamp, but sucks that there are no artists there I am interested in. I just download M4A (MP4 audio) files off of YouTube lol

Yea I do find that often there is no bandcamp page, or it’s 5 years old with no new albums. In those cases my next check is qobiz as they tend to have more large artists.

Good especially those that mix’s Quran verses with metal music which is very haram and forbidden to us Muslims

Is it the metal that makes it bad? Or music in general?

Would be cool if bandcamp had a streaming subscription.

Thats not their model, and that model also sucks ass for supporting other humans.
I am one of those weirdos who likes to own my media. There are few of us geezers left, but luckily enough that bandcamp exists.

Just because the Spotify model sucks doesn’t mean it has to.
I don’t see a reason why 85% of a monthly subscription couldn’t given directly to the artists you actually listen to, and any albums your purchase is on the platform (and you get to keep the drm-free files).
Honestly it kinda sounds like an awesome service.
