Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Let everyone have their own content.

I love Bandcamp Fridays, I save up for them, always a good time
That is a decent advertising model. Feels like it's been a while since I've seen one of those
I went looking today to see if I could transfer Spotify or Deezer playlists and how much it would cost to buy all the tracks but the first few I checked were unavailable 😔
If you ever find that an artist on other platforms isn't on Bandcamp, you'll usually find them on Qobuz's Download Store since that's a common place that they also tend to publish.
It's a little less convenient than Bandcamp, and is often a little more randomly priced across artists and even individual songs from an artist, but if your goal is to compensate them and get a high quality audio download, it'll be another option.
They also have a streaming offering with way better payout rates for artists at what tends to be around $0.01873 per stream as of last year, in case you're not ready to ditch streaming, though I can't speak to how good it is as I haven't tried it myself.
Bigger acts are less likely to be on it but any smaller artists will likely be there.
It's a lot more indie, honestly
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.
Also worth mentioning, this happens every Friday
edit: no it doesn’t
Not every Friday:
Bandcamp Fridays will continue in 2025 on the following dates:
- September 5th
- October 3rd
- December 5th
Is that still true? This announcement states:
Bandcamp Fridays will continue in 2025 on the following dates:
September 5th
October 3rd
December 5th
First Friday of the month, but not every month. They announce the next ones a few months in advance.
Today was the day I bought into band camp! Thanks to all of you for sharing this info!
I get a lot of music from Bandcamp. Unfortunately while unemployed I'm not spending much money on fun
Hey, maybe someone will buy my album!
