@bojidar_bg In terms of buying physical CD's, I remember I bought them pre-streaming, and I still have most of them, they can also physically take up a lot of room. I don't think all the artists I listen to put out CD's (but then again, I've never looked, so I don't know). Regarding buying through Bandcamp, that is definitely an option. It can be a more expensive option (especially if you buy more than a monthly streaming cost). But, it does give more money to the artists. Of course, there's always positives and negatives about every company. There are two negatives I find about Bandcamp. When they got sold by Epic Games, the new company reportedly didn't give around half the employees offers to continue with them (the new company), with very little notice. The second is that this new company hasn't formally recognized the Bandcamp union (it isn't a complete surprise, but I would prefer to support a company that did recognize).
