“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

Following on from this, people have been asking about streaming rates compared with YouTube (worse even than Spotify!) and Qobuz (A bit more than Tidal!). Qobuz is currently the #2 highest paid streaming rate, the #1 is actually… would you believe… Peloton!

For me, streaming is a supplementary to my own music collection (Bandcamp & physical media), couldn't get on with Qobuz or Deezer, I really liked Tidal (but it has a 10k song limit) so currently use Apple Music.

@jonhicks I used Apple Music. And vinyl (and yard sale CD finds). Just recently started Bandcamping and am slowly picking up a few things there. Need to do more of that.

@cdevroe I feel that Bandcamp has potential to grow into a great streaming competitor with the right companion app. They keep getting bought out and passed on, and can't help

@jonhicks I’ve used the app. It works ok for what it is.

Somehow they’ve managed to keep a pretty great culture and service going. I hope it continues.

I really like Bandcamp Friday, live listening sessions, and the social aspect of seeing people support artists.

Taylor should have bought it.

@cdevroe @jonhicks And also in Bandcamp Friday some musicians say it significantly boosts their income.
