Anyone have some good alternatives for downloading loseless and DRM free music from artists?
For Japanese artist I use ototoy.jp but that's a small subset of my library.
Guess I better get what's on my wish list while I can!

However, they do cap the number of times you're permitted to download our collection.
> on Bandcamp Fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees). When you make a purchase on any other day (as millions of you have, with more than $1 billion now paid directly to artists), an average of 82% reaches the artist/label.
DistroKid, for example, charges about $20/year to keep all of your music releases on 100 or so streaming and download services, but takes no cut of the proceeds.
This distribution method is far and away the norm nowadays, especially with dance music, because it gets music everywhere, right alongside artists signed to labels. Bandcamp appeals more to the hipster crowd.
When I first switched to iOS I didn’t see any way to play my music in Apple’s music player and I assumed the door was closed both directions.
Purchases, similarly, can be redownloaded on the computer. They're all DRM-free AAC, since the early 2000s.
I've mostly used Spotify in the past decade, but it seems to all work the way it always has. They just shove Apple Music (not the same as iTunes) in your face when you open the Music app, until you turn it off.
