I actually wonder if the files you download off Bandcamp have DRM on them or not.

They do not have DRMs.

Good to know

I am curious why you think that. I download Bandcamp files and place it on a home server, and I have never had any problems. It is conceivable that they have a tracker or some bull shit connected to it, but more than a little unlikely.

Bandcamp files play fine on non bandcamp-approved playing devices. This is a big win on my book.

I guess that answers my question. Thanks, mate.
