🤝 I download new music to check if I like it, and if I do then go over to Qobuz and buy it DRM-free and download the flac file, which is my flac file. Happy to support the musicians.

Are there any good alternatives to Qobuz? I tried it out and was annoyed that they didn't seem to embed metadata in the files (like album art) unless you use their "downloader" and I think it's silly that I have to install that to just... download some files. Or maybe I missed something?

I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

I use 7digital. But also MusicBrainz Picard is great for adding metadata to files

7digital looks promising, thank you!
