I wish there was an ethical independent streaming service. I buy albums still but it's hard to discover new stuff without it.
Check out Qobuz yet? They're based in France. Seems good so far.
You can discover new music with their free magazine online..

No I hadn't, thank you! I thought about Deezer simply because it's European but it's kind of the same.
no ethical consumption under capitalism.
we would need a foss decentralized platform not unlike lemmy.
Tidal.
Didn't tidal like about their super high quality tier not actually being as good as they said it was?
Feels like a good spot to recommend Bandcamp Fridays. On the first Fridays of some months, the site gives all proceeds to the artists for any purchases made that day. And
tomorrow'stoday's their next one.I love music, but i have been slowly slowing down over the past few years.. all I can say is get several good music sites that do reviews and follow them. I also have music sites that have current top 10 lists for the week, month, and year, which helps me keep up.
I have never used Spotify outside a 6 month free trial and found I didn't like it as much as my own setup because I didn't really like the recommendations, which is what I was hoping for the most. Something about hunting down your own style of music just feels like something that can't be replaced.
Have you tried The Wire? I find tons of great artists of all sorts of styles and genres on their site. It's a bit more involved than hitting play in an app and hearing whatever comes up, but they've been doing good work for a long time now. They put ears on DOOM's work before he blew up, for example.
"If Snot Boogie always stole the money, why’d you let him play?"
I have not heard of it. I'll look at it, thanks. I'm picky about my service because there's certain classical music only on certain platforms that I want that I actually can't buy.
