I wish artists would stop doing physical only releases, like.. 25USD (when you're lucky) + Shipping + Import tax for a couple of tracks has always seemed disproportionate to me. I would prefer to just buy the tracks directly and give them exactly the same profits they'd get from the physical release, since as far as I know a considerable part of the fees come from the manufacturing process ? Also I don't know about y'all but my collection pretty much only collects dust and takes up space that highers my rent lol. I only end up ripping them and storing them forever. (Also a lot of new physical releases don't even have an elaborate lyric book or wtv, so it's not even that worth it anymore to go through all that)
Also I'm confident they'd probably come up with more material (which down the line is what I value most) if every single thing they released didn't represent a potential risk from debt from having to buy all those CD's in bulk so the CD isn't too expensive to the customer.
Edit : also the environmental cost of that whole supply chain for only a couple of hours of entertainement (if the CD is that good) is a waste of material and resources in my opinion lol
