monza sp1 xnever understood why streaming services don't have an option to just buy an album in FLAC for like $20
As other ppl itt have said, Bandcamp does this
Tidal has/had that, but I don’t know if it still has it
Spotify now has a merch section on their app where you can buy an artist's clothes, physicals and digital versions of their records
Apple is phasing out itunes completely though

IFPI Global Report 2024: Music Revenues Climb 10% to $28.6 Billion
The total figure is the highest mark since 1999, not counting for inflation, while the number of paid streaming subscriptions passed 500 million for the first time.

Mr Papi Nigga Davewould you want the genre to be national/global or just have music that's "great" but only liked by a niche group
would you want artists to get pushed over and prostituted by corporate structures and big entertainment industry capital or have a sustainable albeit lowkey and less intense career path?

But most of this site isn't ready for this discussion yet
