What alternatives do you guys use besides Bandcamp? I am open to paying a sub as long as the artist is getting a decent cut.
Buying the music and selfhosting a streaming server is an option, though obviously not for everyone
It’s actually really easy if you just invest in a Synology NAS. You can install the music server package with a few clicks and copy music to the folder, then open a port on your firewall and the Synology music app streams it. Pretty nifty
Doesn't even need to be Synology. Plenty of solutions that can be installed on your own "open" hardware (old PC, mini PC or just a more powerful server)
For sure. The Synology is just dead simple because it already has the package to install and there’s a mobile app it pairs with.
