I buy my digital music, mostly off Bandcamp, but I occasionally want something from a major label. Anyone know where I can buy a download with at least 266kpbs quality, that isn't Amazon or some other tech monolith?

How #Spotify is ruining music: The trth about #ghostartists

In recent days, two excellent producers of electronic music have both decided to take down all their music from Spotify.

Om Unit and Andreas Tilliander (TM404, Mokira) point to Daniel Ek's investments in war technologies, as well as Spotify's algorithmic attempts to steer music listening towards cheap, meaningless muzak by "fake artists" (an elaborate plan which is described in a book released next month by journalist Liz Pelly).

Well played, #FormidableVegetable for using #SpotifyWrapped's system to educate their fans about the evil ways of #Spotify in a fun and ingenious way.

This was actually from a couple of years ago, as they disabled the feature on their account after this video.

If you want to support artists, don’t use #Spotify

Spotify to raise prices, then pay musicians even less.

If your music is on Spotify, why? Are you so successful that you enjoy subsidizing Spotify executives' extravagant lifestyles?
