Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Since then, Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love. In addition to helping artists pay the rent, or fund album recordings and tours, Bandcamp Fridays have also become a beacon for artists and record labels looking to raise awareness for causes or raise money for charities.

And so we’re happy to announce that the next Bandcamp Friday will be on May 2, 2025 from midnight to midnight PST.

Qobuz. To a lesser degree 7digital. Further lessened, HDTracks.

iTunes and Amazon have abysmal quality choices, like none other than MP3 VBR, maybe MP3 320! That's been my experience (been a bit since I used them last).

Thanks!

I'm thinking of an app for musicians to upload their music too. Bandcamp was good, but it's been taken over by corporate power now.
