The only time I'd buy stuff like that is if I knew most, if not all that money is going to the band. At least since a lot of the bands I listen to are smaller.
Yes, this exactly. Im fine with paying $1 a song if I knew majority of the money was going to the artist and not to various greedy media conglomerates.
Is that even possible?
I think there are a few bands they self produce. Fortunately one of my favorite does. At least I think they do. Radiohead.
Lotsa smaller ones, I know king gizzard, red vox, and Frankie and the witch fingers (my favorite bands right now) all have websites you can buy flacs from.
