I'm not a bandcamp user, so maybe this is an obvious question, but if bandcamp were to shutter operations, would the files in your local backup still be usable by you?
Yes, the Bandcamp files are fully DRM-free. You can download the music in just about any DRM-free format, I always go with FLAC. The FLAC files are exactly the same as any other FLAC file, just losslessly compressed samples.
Yeah, it's actually freakin' awesome sometimes. I got the entire discography of one of my favorite artists for like.. $10 or something? I think I bumped up the price because I felt bad and felt they deserved more haha
I've purchased thousands of dollars of music through Bandcamp, and every purchase is a FLAC file I download. Bandcamp has no control of or connection to the music I've purchaed after the download is complete.
