danIt’s probably the most popular music streaming service at the moment.
DampSquidSure, for the morally bankrupt
AppoxoWho is any better? Literally all are paying pennies to the artist per stream.
entropicdriftTidal pays more than 3x what Spotify pays. Qobuz pays like 5-6x.
Although better, still very little in comparison to bandcamp
Sure, that’s true, though if you allow streams on Bandcamp, those pay $0, so in terms of “try before you buy”, any streaming service is better. It’s only if you actually sell an album on band camp (or AmpWall, a smaller indie service that does a lot of the same stuff) that you’d get paid, as an artist.
I say this as a musician who has put out several albums both independently and with a label.
