I always imagine that when the Zenith is swung, you're actually just swinging the copper shortsword and all the other blades emerge from it.

a year and a half after buying bandcamp, epic is selling bandcamp to a the largest music licensing company in the world known as SongTradr...
surely shoving one of the platforms that gives musicians the best terms being shoved under a b2b company that has a large amount of leverage over the industry and no prior interest in selling music to people will be fine, right? there's no way they decide to do anything harmful to either bandcamp, musicians, or listeners with this deal
It's not perfect or a long term 'replacement' (definitely doesn't have the built-in music buying audience that bandcamp does) but it does support selling music, and with this pretty rad tool from Torcado, you can easily create a bandcamp-like media player for your stuff, complete with album art, lyric pages, credits, etc.
I've had it set up for a while, you can see it in action here:

If you're a musician interesting in setting this up and need some help, let me know - I'm happy to!
A ref of my latest sona! A very big difference since the "gender-weird amab with a depression hoodie" days.
I decided to get indulgent while designing this by going "fuck it, we are rocking the stout pear bodytype with added gender ideal" and big shocker, I actually felt happy making it!
