Where do you buy them from?

[–] qwank@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Im gonna guess bandcamp?

[–] cosmo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Mostly Qobuz.

[–] UnbrokenTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I thought that was only indie artists

[–] cosmo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Qobuz. And sometimes bandcamp

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mostly buy from Bandcamp. Do you have the special Qibuz subscription to get discounts on purchases, and is it worth it ?

[–] cosmo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Nah. I don't bother with that. I can't listen to unlimited amounts of music anyway, and buying fewer albums I care more about makes me listen to them more instead, I'd say. I already have a massive music catalog going back to the early 2000s when I bought CDs, pirated a lot and just kept all of it on my NAS.

Dunno about the user you asked, but I've used Bandcamp for that.
