Wait can you actually get free music on bandcamp by paying $0.00?

I wish that occurred to me before, but that would feel even ******** than pirating.

As long as the artist doesn't set a minimum, you don't have to pay. But I think they're only allowed a certain amount of free downloads, though I could be wrong on that.

That's not true, in regards to the max number of free downloads, but I think the artist can set a max number of free downloads.

Looks like it's a monthly thing. They refill to 200 every month, with more being added as sales rise.

Oh, well, I was wrong.
I think I was thinking of max number of times a non-free album can be streamed in a 24 hour period.

Oh, no. Streaming is unlimited.

I just remember trying to download an album and not being able to because there were no more free downloads remaining.

Nah, I once listened to an album on the bandcamp page 3 times in a row, and it said I could no longer stream the album for free.

Weird. I wonder why they'd limit that when you could have just pulled the file by using the network activity function of your browser and listened to it with no limits.

Yeah, idk, I actually try to buy music from bandcamp, I like that you can technically listen to all the music for free, and download a lot of it without paying, so I try to give money to the artists (and the site gets a cut I assume) for their general leniency

Don't HD videos on youtube (720p+) now play at 256 KB/s unless an uploader has audio forced to something lower? Also if one were to ever check a person's computer for pirated music, wouldn't they simply search for audio file bit rates of 128kb/s and 256kb/s?

And for the first part, I was referring to bandcamp specifically.
I don't know if anything2mp3 does it, I've only used it for soundcloud and bandcamp, but clipconverter.cc will rip mp3s from youtube at mp3 v0, which is imo the best audio format sub-lossless.

You can't rip v0 mp3's from youtube. Afaik they use CBR, which means you can only get v0 by transcoding their (most likely) 128/256kbps to v0, this will result in inferior sound (128/256 CBR -> v0 is ALWAYS worse than leaving it at 128/256) with a larger filesize. Transcoding mp3 should NEVER be done and is an entirely loss-loss situation.

I dunno if I agree with that second part, I have tons of pirated music at 320kbps, mp3 v0, and even some FLAC stuff.

from bandcamp I've bought almost each album of renard queenston. But I don't like, how his style was changed... While I love dark ambient or ritual purposes. His new experiments are too strange.
