Real Support for Real Artists
Streaming can help people discover independent music, but it notoriously brings emerging artists little or no income.
On Spotify, for example, songs with fewer than 1,000 streams in the previous 12 months earn no recording royalties. For songwriters and music artists with smaller audiences and no tour or merchandise income, releasing music at a cost greater than their streaming earnings, to publish an album actually means they lose money.
To show your direct support for any local, emerging, or indie music artist, consider purchasing their albums and singles from Bandcamp instead.
Bandcamp stands out for its straightforward, artist-first business model and transparent fees.
Unlike major corporate-owned streaming platforms, where major label ownership shapes the ecosystem, Bandcamp offers a direct-to-artist model, with flexible pricing that allows listeners + fans to contribute beyond the listed price—think of it as a built-in virtual tip jar.
How it works
You can use Bandcamp in two simple ways: through a web browser on your computer or by downloading the free Bandcamp app on your phone or tablet (iOS or Android). Both options let you browse music, make purchases, and access everything you’ve bought whenever you want.
Find music: Go to Bandcamp and search for an artist or album you like, such as “Vermillion + Co.” or “Magenta EP.” You can also search by genre to discover new artists, like “Coal-country folk” or “Latin LoFi.”
Buy it: Click Buy, enter your payment details, and complete checkout. Enter a custom amount at checkout to show a little extra support (your “virtual tip jar”).
Get your music: Right after purchase, you’ll see a download link. You’ll also get an email with the same link.
Choose a format: Click the download link and pick a format (MP3 is the easiest for most people).
Listen your way:
Smartphone or tablet (easiest): Download the free Bandcamp app (iOS or Android), log in, and your music will be there to stream or download for offline listening.
Computer: Download from your Purchases page and play the files on your device.
That’s it! Once you’ve bought it, it’s yours to listen to anytime.
