      I mean the moral thing is just to not buy the product if you have an issue with it.

          Not saying Bandcamp are the good guys but at least you have an option. And today is Bandcamp Friday, when artists keep 100% of the sales!

          We run our Navidrome server at home and listen to our music using clients such as Feishin and Tempo (Android).
