Here are five observations about what the deal means for Songtradr, Bandcamp, and other players in the music industry…

I buy a lot of my music from Bandcamp. I don't stream, I download and then play direct. I tend to think Bandcamp is unique compared to all the other much more mass market stuff out there. It has its own niche. There's a lot of very small artists on it who would never get that wide an audience. There are the Indie bands which are perhaps somewhat Indie in their music, but have a lot of press, and make quite a bit of money, then there are the real Indies, which much tinier by comparison, and will never be rich. I love finding all these unique and interesting artists on Bandcamp.
I hope this bouncing around owners doesn't turned it into a severely compromised cash cow for some humungous big corporate. I work with Enterprise Applications software. I've seen some of the companies in this area get acquired, and then after acquisition, the great software they had is basically destroyed. The acquisition didn't make sense - at least in terms of maintaining the original application - and all the acquiring company were after was the customer base, or to destroy a competitor.
