I canceled spoofy earlier this year and have been slowly building my library proper ever since. honestly I've always preferred direct downloading my music over streaming because I can access it all offline, I only started using Spotify when my sd card corrupted and I lost all my music on it. tbf it was all pirated cause I was a broke kid but now that I'm buying everything I'm making sure to have backups and physical CDs when I can get them so it never has to be a problem again!
and honestly it's been SO FUN looking up artists and albums, listening to songs Ive previously ignored or were part of like a collaboration and realizing I really like them. i even got the guts to email one of my favorite artists to inquire about songs he didn't have on his bandcamp (he sold the rights to em so he can't sell the songs 😔) and now I look forward to the monthly album I buy to bolster my collection.
My wife loves bandcamp. Especially the sales where they give 100% of the revenue to the artist.
Friday, Oct 3 is one of those sales... tomorrow as of this comment.
