  • Under the “coming soon” section, they state the following:

    We’re deep into building the Bandwagon Roadmap, including even better music discovery and publishing tools And online album sales are close behind.

    So it seems the idea is to provide a way for artists to sell their albums. I’m curious what it’ll look like in practice - I guess they’re still trying to work that out themselves as well. :)


  • Bandwagon is an attempt to make a federated social media for artists. Who knows if it’ll succeed, but checking out the artists on the platform would be a first step. :)

    The artists link whatever services they like, which in a way I think is nice. Personally I don’t like paying for digital files, so my music expenses are mostly spent on vinyl records. The artists are probably not left with much after all the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining, the high gloss, the tape, and the gear, but at least I end up with something that’s mine.

    As others have mentioned, Qobuz is a French company running a DRM-free music store.
