I use to buy a lot of CDs from indie bands at shows. I'd rip them to FLAC, but I really liked the idea of giving that money directly to the artists, and I've got music in my collection you probably can't find on streaming services. I was at a show two weeks ago where the band only had cassette tapes 😮

My 2018 Toyota still came with a stock CD player. Kinda surprised.

  I've probably spent hundreds $$ on bandcamp, but after they banned Tim Pool, I decided I couldn't support people through it anymore ... I don't even like Tim Pool ... 😡 ... but what a stupid person to decide to censor.

  Yes, very valid remark about local scene — but as far as I can see, even underground bands are adopting other formats as well and often sell both tapes and plates at their shows. I sometimes buy them even though I don't have good equipment for those — just as memorabilia to support the band and to give them later as presents to my friends who are into formats other than CDs and who might not be familiar with this band/artist — way better than both just sending them a link and giving something generic and useless as Birthday present.
  Streaming services aside, BandCamp seems to become the main tool both of promotion and of distribution even for lesser know bands. I do want to support them, but paying $10/15/20 for the CD itself and then about $50 on S&H doesn't seem reasonable, I can download FLACs and record them to a CD myself just fine — I have plenty of blanks left. Besides, look here: https://artoffactrecords.bandcamp.com/album/artoffact-records-2023-sampler
  FLA, Download, Cyberaktif — this label isn't exactly into some zoomer stuff, but even their compilations no longer fit on a standard 700 Mb blank — no one seems to care anymore. It's kinda sad for me personally, but it's indicative.

  I always download the FLACs and have never used their app/streaming crap. That's one thing I liked about them; putting the download links as first class parts of the process. With the newer 512Gb~1TB sdcards, it's nice to always have a full copy of my music on my phone.

  @djsumdog @m0xEE @PurpCat when buying my new truck I didn't even notice there was no cd player until I got it home 😭 been debating in trying one of these usb cd players in it.
  
  Band camp has banned plenty of good people like xurious, cybernazi, paddy tarleton, not just fags like Tim pool. Still some like Vulgar, Hard Look, Tekeli-Li, who have managed to stay on and under the radar.
  
  I'm more worried that Bandcamp keeps getting bought and sold and will soon just end up getting shit canned some day soon and we'll lose all our digital shit we've bought

  I just use bluetooth to my phone. Both the aftermarket Pioneer in my car and the stock unit in my truck support bluetooth. I don't have Google services, so no Android Auto anymore ... but the built-in nav on both is pretty good and I really only use my phone for podcasts/music these days.

  I just use MP3s on a USB. It's great to have a complete collection of music anywhere.
