    The article mentions streaming, but anyone know how much of purchases go to the artist? I’m not interested in streaming, but their store looks attractive.

    Also, can I redownload the music later? Or is it a one and done deal? Just thinking about backups.

      I only can answer your second question. You can redownload your purchases at any time. Music will remain in your library forever until one day licensing will take it away from you.

      Qobuz has been very transparent - when you complete a purchase, they warn and recommend you to download it as soon as you can because license revocation can remove that music from your account. They’re my preferred platform for buying music.

        I purchase from Bandcamp, should I be looking to move over?

        Awesome, thanks!

        I’ll certainly put it on multiple devices (phone, desktop, NAS), but probably won’t bother with offsite backups since that gets expensive.
