I’m not surprised- how else you gonna get paid on digital releases? You’re gonna get next to fuck all from streaming platforms let’s face it.
I don’t mind paying a bit more for a digital release from an independent artist/label-they have very few revenue streams open to them
If it’s more than £1 a track I don’t buy it
Yeah I agree. It’s bollocks.
Yes, exactly
This is interesting as it feels like that price was set by Steve Jobs in 2004 or something - but it still holds as a mental anchor price
I understand that it’s not gonna go down well with the producers & DJs on here but times are tough right now (for me at least) & much as I love music, it’s a luxury.
On the plus side you have to be more picky bout what you buy… bit like vinyl… will I still listen to this in ten yrs? etc
Which in an era of digital landfill is a sort of plus
Same here, I have about a tenner a month - the agony of choice!
General question, perhaps naive and apologies if so… I don’t stream music, I buy it digitally. I understand Bandcamp is the best for the artist and use it most of the time, however Juno download prices are way cheaper. Are they robbing the artist blind? Or is the extra that you pay on Bandcamp getting syphoned off somewhere else (BC Fridays excluded). Ta.
Juno DL isn’t cheaper if you’re buying lossless though, is it?
Plus with BC, it’s in your collection forever, with no limits on how many times you can DL (if needed)
Also, if times are tough, then you definitely want to avoid Soulseek and the Seeker app.
I thought soulseek was easily avoided years ago? I had drives full of stuff from that place in the d/l years. 
There’s a track I have my eye on on Bandcamp. Can only be bought as part of a package. The other 2 tracks in the package are essentially a radio edit and something that almost nobody would be interested in listening to. It’s a scam so they can charge £6 for a song. It’s in my wishlist daring me to push the button on it’s purchase, but im staying strong. For now!
Some edit merchants charge £2.50 a pop on Bandcamp for thelr ‘edit’. I dont mind if its something fresh and interesting but when they’ve just added a few bongos and a kick drum its a liberty
The flying sausage at 18 seconds did me in
They’re the worst.
Only the dark choc which is still annoying
Toblerone dark chocolate bar discontinued in the UK Toblerone dark chocolate bar discontinued in the UK
Just dark Chris.
That and Cadbury are all owned by the american processed food company which was Kraft. By changing tastes i guess they mean that people are getting wise to the ‘dark good, milk bad’ reality of chocolate and they’d rather withdraw something that might even approach healthy. All driven by the need to reduce cost and maximise profit no doubt.
