I would gladly pay good money to just download an MP4, but they have never given me that option.

Hello, yes i would like to buy high res music files, please show me a store that has a large catalog that I can choose from. Oh there are non?

I guess I'll have to look else where

The media corps have people hooked on non downloadable streaming services. Today's youth don't know what an mp3 or a flac file is. Hell, a lot of them have never owned a CD. They're buying vinyl records (lol) and don't even own a vinyl record player.

Qobuz and Bandcamp have almost everything

I've been using bandcamp mostly for the indie artists i listen to, seems like Qobuz has a pretty decent selection of more mainstream artists

Bandcamp now is most user friendly, but even the creators cheat by deleting their 1$ offerings, and Yes I hate bundles of 600 albums for a price of 1$

You could use streamrip to download high quality FLACs from Tidal and Qobuz if you have a subscription.
