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.

Everyone gave good alternatives for where to buy music. As for the pipeline for getting them into your music server, I have Picard running in a container (a couple projects do this, search docker picard) and I have the settings all configured so that when I drop in files to my NAS (though samba or whatever), then I just double click the folder in Picard and hit save and it moves it into my music server’s directories, all properly and nicely tagged (I have the container volumes all set up properly as well)

You can look into beets or wrtag for more automation friendly tagging services.
