"'It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,' said David Israelite, the NMPA’s president and CEO [...] 'Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move [...] We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022.'"

My refusal to use Spotify and massive preference for Bandcamp/Mirlo/Jam.coop/Faircamp grows every day

@reillypascal I've never used any of those. How do they compare to jamendo/SoundCloud?

@vincentbiret the ones I mentioned focus on selling downloads to listeners. Bandcamp is the one I'm most familiar with, and if you buy something there, it also becomes available for unlimited streaming on their app/website.

I also use SoundCloud for my portfolio stuff that I'm not selling, and Jamendo sounds cool for free streaming/licensing purposes.
