i know i know bandcamp is evil whatever. something about this just feels right. the clean interface. memories of youth. the scrobbles w my scrobbling app are more consistent than spotify's godawful built in scrobbler too. i love giving money to people when i can.

i refused to use streaming services at all for a long time because i wanted a sense of ownership over my music library (even if in a nebulous digital kinda way) & i would say it’s great for so many reasons , it’s slightly more inconvenient but it’s honestly pretty easy to just download music from bandcamp/rip from cds/torrenting sites & manually put it into your phone from itunes. you get to think a bit more about what you’re putting in your library (or from your library into your phone) but you also get to hold onto things in a certain version & protect your archive from the whims of streaming services & copyright claims .

if you refuse subscription, then buy music! you'll be supporting the artists directly as well

After seeing that Spotify donated $150000 to the trump inauguration, pay artists nothing and replaced thousands of staff with AI I think it’s time for me to step away from the app even though it’s painfully convenient, I would rather use an mp3 player and purchase albums from artists on bandcamp (which isn’t perfect either) but at least a larger percentage of that money will go to the actual artists. I feel like 2025 is the year of choosing ethics over convenience because what is convenient for us is usually at the expense of others.

if it was good enough for you as a kid it's good enough for you now. major bonus points if it's raining lightly.
