Qobuz. And sometimes bandcamp

I mostly buy from Bandcamp. Do you have the special Qibuz subscription to get discounts on purchases, and is it worth it ?

Nah. I don't bother with that. I can't listen to unlimited amounts of music anyway, and buying fewer albums I care more about makes me listen to them more instead, I'd say. I already have a massive music catalog going back to the early 2000s when I bought CDs, pirated a lot and just kept all of it on my NAS.
