Sources to purchase mp3s? (piefed.social)

On this thread: https://piefed.social/post/1243539 one of the main points of contention is about the tension between how spotify pays artists very little, but piracy doesn't, on it's own, pay them at all.

I'm a heavy user of bandcamp, but i know that it has strengths and weaknesses: it's great for finding independent artists and small labels, but it doesnt have a big catalog for popular tracks.

Do people have experience with other sources for purchasing? What about https://us.7digital.com/ ?

Specifically for self hosting, is there a way to streamline purchases from sites like these into lidarr? If not, is there an automated solution for (1) uncompressing a downloaded archive file from a purchase, then (2) making it conform to a file/folder organizational structure, and (3) having navidrome, jellyfin, etc import it?

Just trying to find workable ideas for owning music and getting artists most of the money.

Beets can organize your music library. It uses musicbrainz IDs to identify songs and albums, it can move/copy the files into folders. You can also convert files right away. I created additional mp3 files and moved Thema into a separate folder for use on my phone to save space.

There are plugins to normalize the volume. Loads of dstuff. You just have to set up a config file to your needs and you are good to go.
