A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As apparently, this move is made to target audiobook listeners and podcast listeners, can I recommend https://audiobookshelf.org

And also https://f-droid.org/packages/de.danoeh.antennapod/

There's quite a few ways actually:

  • Bandcamp (preferred)
  • just google it
  • Artist's official website
  • contact artist via social media

If none of the above has worked, this is no longer an issue about whether you want to pay for the product or not, it's a supplier problem.

Also, when it comes to specific platforms, Apple Music is quite good, though they make it rather painful to buy music if you use Linux

It is to be noted that while iTunes is DRM-free at this point (which is very nice and surprised me when I found out) it is unfortunately still lossy compressed audio which the perfectionist in me really doesn't like :P

Come on Apple, sell me your funny ALAC, you have it for Apple Music anyway

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. It doesn't bother me that much, since I personally can't tell the difference in audio quality, but that's still unfortunate to know

I mean same, but I'd still like to have lossless audio regardless :P
