I am surprised that people know what amazon music is.

I bought a few mp3s off amazon (but it wasn't amazon music, i think) and they had no DRM, just a unique ID3 tag. If it's still like that, I can recommend it.

Yep, amazon Mp3s are drm free. I get most of my music on bandcamp but amazon is pretty decent for stuff that's not on bandcamp.

Lol imagine being beholden to constant internet or having to pay for your music...

What's a good way to financially support artists directly, without involving shady corporations, and without resorting to piracy?

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

paying for music subscriptions doesn't help artist to much. Buying their merch or going to concerts is how they get most of their money
