1.8 cents per stream might not sound like much, but Apple – one of the better payers – says it averages 1.0 cents. Some other streamers are believed to pay considerably less, and to offer reduced royalties in exchange for exposure.

That’s how I use Qobuz, I mean I use the digital store, not the streaming
But still it’s a good thing to know about Qobuz

Where?
And I’m not talking about up and coming, very promising stuff on Bandcamp.

Lumidaub ( @Lumidaub@feddit.org ) 2•9 days agoGet CDs where?
Edit: I know it’s still possible to buy CDs but it’s become much harder, especially because I’m not able to on a whim just go into the city to browse and am mostly dependent on online shops. I was being snarky because I’m frustrated that it used to be incredibly easy, without going to 10 different places, to legally acquire the music I like and it’s not anymore. I apologise.
Thank you everyone for suggesting sources.

Also artists/labels online stores
