I wonder how many potential customers they lost with their downloader bullshit though. While my OS at the time did support it I couldn't be bothered to install a random binary just for a different music store.

Even if the album/single was $0.

They lost quite a few sales to me due to their ministrations. And I literally just made my latest music purchase 2 days ago on Bandcamp. First time buying on their site. Easy, quick, got exactly the formats I wanted. I kind of wish every artist was on Bandcamp.

Bought an album that was only available there at the time. Suffered like the previous poster with their ui flow. Never went back.

However I love buying on Bandcamp.

probably not many. have you noticed how people love amazon no matter how shitty they are?

Books are delivered reasonably fast and at reasonable or great prices.

AWS is mostly easy and great. And they seem to take security seriously. A few annoyances here and there and weird naming, but bad?

Furthermore they have been driving the ebookmarket, both pricing and technology.

I don't know anyone that buys computer components there, so people do have minimum standards. They are simply ok for a wide range of products.

They're great for physical goods. My wife's disabled and I have a day job, so we work our Amazon Prime hard. I disapprove of their tax shenanigans in the UK, but frankly we'd be fucked without Amazon or something like it.

That's great to hear! They're off my avoid list then. Still not as great as Bandcamp's options but sounds usable.

What about FLACs?
