Another reason why the French Qobuz is way better than the American Apple Music
1.8 cents per stream might not sound like much, but Apple – one of the better payers – says it averages 1.0 cents. Some other streamers are believed to pay considerably less, and to offer reduced royalties in exchange for exposure.
Or just have your music locally. Buy it, download and run it whenever.
That’s how I use Qobuz, I mean I use the digital store, not the streaming
But still it’s a good thing to know about Qobuz
Buy it
Where?
And I’m not talking about up and coming, very promising stuff on Bandcamp.
Qobuz: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/shop 7-Digital: https://de.7digital.com/ Are two sites i know of and use for that.
7digital is american owned though, by the same company that bought Bandcamp and fired half of its staff : Songtradr
Used to be British, got bought 😢
Thanks for the heads-up 👍
Thank you for the heads up. I guess it’s still better than buying yourself a collection on iTunes thanks to it being DRM free. Will be looking on qobuz first though.
CDs, copy the files
Get CDs where?
Edit: I know it’s still possible to buy CDs but it’s become much harder, especially because I’m not able to on a whim just go into the city to browse and am mostly dependent on online shops. I was being snarky because I’m frustrated that it used to be incredibly easy, without going to 10 different places, to legally acquire the music I like and it’s not anymore. I apologise.
Thank you everyone for suggesting sources.
In a store in real life, or a library (real life too)
Also artists/labels online stores
I get mine usually at flea markets or second hand music shops in the next town over as I really love 80s rock and metal but you also get a ton of newish stuff.
Whenever I’m at a big electronics store like MediaMarkt in Germany they also still have CDs.
I also used sides like rebuy before, mainly for books and movies but I didn’t had a bad experience with that before.
Sometimes the bands themselves sell CDs on their fanshop.
I just signed up for this
I’m Canadian, but we don’t have much for local competition in this space.
