A lot of services have been deliberately phasing out the ability to directly buy music lately to promote their streaming services and it's pissing me off to no end, like, I don't know if this is a "boomer" complaint or whatever but I want the option to BUY A SONG AND SUPPORT THE ARTIST.

I'm fully taking this as permission to keep feeding my vinyl record addiction

PSA on this also, buy your vinyl records from your local record store over a big box retailer

& if they're a small enough band/artist that they don't offer selling CD/mp3 directly than they will almost always have a paypal/donate option somewhere, so donating something & pirating is better than nothing!

I'm a proud owner of several autographed CDs I never played on a CD Player (cause I don't have one) solely because I wanted to support my faves (everyone go listen to Ayreon)

Nah, I bought the discography of a few I like. Gotta cram it onto my ipod.

But yeah, buy directly from the artist if you can. If you can't, I know I like bandcamp for it.

This is why I always encourage music fans to make use of @bandcamp.com here is an emerging musician who needs that support: https://housewifeband.bandcamp.com/music

I stopped using Spotify about a year ago.

Generally try to buy albums when I can even if they have to be shipped from Japan.

I don't know if Apple music is better but I listen through that as well when I don't have access to my rips.

Thank you for spreading the message of buying from artists.
