I like Bandcamp. You can keep music you buy from it drm free. They do writeups on genres and cities and stuff that are (or at least feel like they are) written by real people.
It’s less of a brainless recommendation algorithm than Spotify , but I like my music to be a little more intentional anyway so it works for me.
I know when I buy anything from creative people I enjoy it gives me warm fuzzy feelings to know that most of the money I’m paying is actually going to the artists themselves and it really seems BandCamp gives the artists a decent deal. According to their site artists get around 82% of what you pay (much better than the fractions of a cent they’d get from you streaming their song elsewhere) and that’s not counting BandCamp Fridays (first Friday of the month) when they give the artists 100%.
That’s the issue i find with recommending Bandcamp unless people are looking for small bands or indie artists (its also great for game soundtrack albums etc).

BandCamp also seems great for the artists.

As a small artist who uses bandcamp, its great. My split is 90/10.
I’ll check you out if you let me
Recomendations sound nice. Since I dropped actual radio I have a hard time discovering new bands and genres that I’m interested on.
They do articles like this one https://daily.bandcamp.com/scene-report/texas-hard-rock-bands
I’ve found some gems from their writeups.
Dies Bandcamp offer JPop?
It might. Not my genre so I’m not sure. It tends to be indie and smaller labels on Bandcamp.
