I'm over 7k albums. I never heard of Songtradr before. Looks like they were founded in 2014 and have been buying music related businesses since according to wikipedia. I'd hate to see bandcamp move to a licensing scheme.
It's always had licensing. Copyright remains with the artist. I don't know what this means for anything, but I don't like change. Bandcamp was just fine as-is, and I don't see any way this new company can make it better for *my* purposes. Best case scenario is it stays the same for end users, and makes commercial licensing more seamless for artists. That might be an improvement. Otherwise, I don't know where I'll get music from. If it isn't on bandcamp, it virtually doesn't exist for me. I can count on one hand the non bandcamp albums I've bought in the last 10 years.
Soundcloud is subscription based isn't it? Can I buy lossless copies of albums, physical copies, or merchandise? Last time I looked, searching by genre was bad.
