Bandcamp vs Tunesnapper

Once you buy (or support) a song/album from an artist on Bandcamp, you get to open a fan account and unlimited streaming and downloads from your purchases.

The Bandcamp discovery site has multiple filters making it easy to find exactly what you want. If you're looking for Best-Selling Electronic albums on vinyl from 3 weeks ago, Discover has you covered.

When artists upload their music, the can add their own tags to their albums or songs. This leads to some very unique finds and allows you to find interesting music.

Downloading songs (you bought) lets you download in multiple choices of codecs/formats, like MP3, FLAC, AIFF, AAC and many more to make sure you get to hear what you want to hear.

Listen to songs as many times as you want.

Bandcamp's share is 15% on digital items, and 10% on physical goods. Payment processor fees are separate and vary depending on the size of the transaction, but for an average size purchase, amount to an additional 4-7%. The remainder, usually 80-85%, goes directly to the artist, and they pay out daily. Since they only make money when artists make a lot more money, their interests remain aligned with those of the community they serve. It’s a straightforward approach, and it works well.

You can download MP3's to your mobile device for offline use, this is convenient for those that do not have an internet connection throughout the whole day.

The service is completely free, meaning you never need to pay in order to stream what is available on the site.
