    Another reason why the French Qobuz is way better than the American Apple Music

    1.8 cents per stream might not sound like much, but Apple – one of the better payers – says it averages 1.0 cents. Some other streamers are believed to pay considerably less, and to offer reduced royalties in exchange for exposure.

      That’s how I use Qobuz, I mean I use the digital store, not the streaming

      But still it’s a good thing to know about Qobuz

          Get CDs where?

          Edit: I know it’s still possible to buy CDs but it’s become much harder, especially because I’m not able to on a whim just go into the city to browse and am mostly dependent on online shops. I was being snarky because I’m frustrated that it used to be incredibly easy, without going to 10 different places, to legally acquire the music I like and it’s not anymore. I apologise.

          Thank you everyone for suggesting sources.

            I get mine usually at flea markets or second hand music shops in the next town over as I really love 80s rock and metal but you also get a ton of newish stuff.

            Whenever I’m at a big electronics store like MediaMarkt in Germany they also still have CDs.

            I also used sides like rebuy before, mainly for books and movies but I didn’t had a bad experience with that before.

            Sometimes the bands themselves sell CDs on their fanshop.

    I just signed up for this

    I’m Canadian, but we don’t have much for local competition in this space.
