I try to use Bandcamp whenever I can. Most bands make their music available to stream for free on there and you're able to play their albums straight. There's no playlists or queue for songs but you can buy the music you like for relatively cheap to support the bands. I don't think the Bandcamp cut is that deep on the transactions either.

You won't find many, if any, big names on there but I see it as a great service for independent music. They also have discovery pages to explore genres.

It takes some work to use but I at least don't feel like I'm cheating bands on it.

Also, Paypal isn't mandatory anymore on Bancamp.
Bandcamp is amazing! I just wish they could sell through their iOS app. :/
