Example: Mine is Pandora, but I’ve used Jango for more independent artists as well.

    bandcamp.

    • drm free copies of the music to keep forever
      • I’m building a library of music I can keep forever, even if I stop using the service. Some months I don’t pay anything because I’m happily listening to what I already have. I’m not stuck paying a subscription
    • musicians get a good cut
    • their blog posts about genres and cities and stuff are good, and are (or feel like they are) written by an actual person.
    • Sometimes musicians do “listening parties” where you just hang out in a livestream with the band
    • when you buy stuff, you can write a message to the band and sometimes they write back

    Now, if nothing you listen to is on bandcamp it won’t be as appealing. But there’s a wide variety of genres.

      I’ve been able to find some really good artists in there. Even Lena Raine posts her discography on that website (well, except for her contributions to the Minecraft soundtrack).
