oscillik Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Bandcamp still sell records and cds though... Which often come with an instant download, at which point the dilemma rises again: why bother paying for a CD when I won't use it when it arrives? And, again, when the artwork/packaging is often total turds (although plenty of folks DO put effort in)? All I want is the music, and I don't really need the CD any more. And records I do like, but often the artists aren't UK based, which means astronomical shipping... I wouldn't say I'm against CDs/records, but as a cheapskate I'm losing the ability to reason why I should pay to have a CD shipped to me I won't use more than once every couple of years. That's probably the main reason: I'm really cheap. I've bought quite a few records via Bandcamp (never buy CDs, as you've said - what's the point? edit -I did buy one CD, but that was Scald Rougish and pretty obv why). I've never had an issue with either the pressing quality, or the presentation. having said that, I seem to have a good nose for quality releases as you can see from my purchase history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klore Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 i don't like bandcamp, it looks cheap and like artists have failed of finding a label, somehow i know it's not true, but it has the look of it i wish they develop more the design possibilities and interractions with fans/followers and artists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifeelspace Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'd be interested in following those of you on Bandcamp. Most of the music I buy is based on recommendations from this site, so I expect you have some stuff in your collections that would appeal to me. Post your collection if you don't mind being followed. Mine is http://bandcamp.com/davidallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I don't listen to music on the computer much, so I'm happy to buy physical - although I always get vinyl or tape whenever possible, not really a fan of CDs in general.

klore Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 also the fact they don't make file in .wav is a boomer ! .flac is good but non friendly with many software and devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The lack of WAV downloads is really weird. They allow WAV uploads so why not? Crazy file sizes or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
