    Just a heads up to everyone, quitting Spotify and buying / “procuring” your own music and playing it via a music player makes reading this quite cathartic. Do it for the moral superiority and self esteem boost for no effort you come to the internet for anyways.

        There’s quite a few ways actually:

        • Bandcamp (preferred)
        • just google it
        • Artist’s official website
        • contact artist via social media

        If none of the above has worked, this is no longer an issue about whether you want to pay for the product or not, it’s a supplier problem.

          I’ve never seen an artist on Bandcamp that I actually recognize.

          Telling anyone to “just Google it” is proof that you have no interest in a good faith discussion.

          Also, when it comes to specific platforms, Apple Music is quite good, though they make it rather painful to buy music if you use Linux

            It is to be noted that while iTunes is DRM-free at this point (which is very nice and surprised me when I found out) it is unfortunately still lossy compressed audio which the perfectionist in me really doesn’t like :P

            Come on Apple, sell me your funny ALAC, you have it for Apple Music anyway

              Oh, I wasn’t aware of that. It doesn’t bother me that much, since I personally can’t tell the difference in audio quality, but that’s still unfortunate to know
