    CD is still the only way to buy a digital popular music in most countries.

      Don’t forget digital music stores like Qobuz and www.bandcamp.com.

      Artists get more money when you buy their music outright instead of stream it.

        Bandcamp was bought by Epic Games, who fired half the staff and sold off the remainder to some kind of nebulous music licencing platform. I wouldn’t cheer them on much longer, I see dark days ahead.

          It isn’t owned by epic games anymore, it was bought by Songtradr. https://www.songtradr.com/blog/posts/songtradr-bandcamp-acquisition/

            Yup that’s the “nebulous music licencing platform” I was referring to
