Bandcamp is good if you know what you want and they do pay out really, really well.

If you want a streaming service more like Spotify you might also check out Resonate Cooperative https://resonate.is/ which has a stream-to-own model.

Discovering new music is low cost, repeated listens double until the ninth, upon which you own the track outright. You can then download or stream that track for free.

Still ramping up but I'm excited about their prospects.

Awesome idea - do they have more than a couple of artists though?

Personally I like a distinction between looking for music and having it DRM-free offline on my hard drive.

Still early days -- only 2300 artists on 296 labels so far; but growing. It fits somewhere between Soundcloud, Bandcamp and Spotify.

That's a brilliant idea and a reasonable way to stream and own music IMO.

Already signed up.
