Today is Bandcamp Friday
From now until 12 a.m. PST, Bandcamp will pass 100% of revenue directly to artists. From its website:
Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Since then, Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love. In addition to helping artists pay the rent, or fund album recordings and tours, Bandcamp Fridays have also become a beacon for artists and record labels looking to raise awareness for causes or raise money for charities.
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.
