    🤝 I download new music to check if I like it, and if I do then go over to Qobuz and buy it DRM-free and download the flac file, which is my flac file. Happy to support the musicians.

      Are there any good alternatives to Qobuz? I tried it out and was annoyed that they didn’t seem to embed metadata in the files (like album art) unless you use their “downloader” and I think it’s silly that I have to install that to just… download some files. Or maybe I missed something?

        I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

          Thanks! I think the trouble I had with Bandcamp is that it seemed to be missing some stuff I wanted - some of it was more niche but a good bit of it was pretty popular so I was surprised by that. No reason I couldn’t use more than one source though.
