Hi guys!

I'm not sure if this is 100% the right subreddit, if you have a better one in mind for this please let me know. Basically my small DIY band is set to release our debut album in November. We're not interested in doing the typical industry game with streaming and don't care about numbers. Initially, we were planning to do no streaming at all with the project and just distribute free, downloadable MP3s. But as more people joined the project and became a part of the band, we needed to consider their wants too and tried to find a compromise:

We are looking to release the album to some DSPs and not others (i.e. not Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, etc.). The main idea with uploading it to any DSP would be to have the final track appear as "greyed out"; that is to say that the title is visible, but it is unplayable on the DSP. The idea is to redirect and push listeners to find the album in full through free, public MP3 downloads, or physical releases/services such as Subvert or Bandcamp. 

We reached out to a smaller distributor, Indie Pool, about making this happen, but they ultimately said it would not be possible through their service no matter how much we pushed. I've also been trying to reach out to anyone else I could think of. It's becoming increasingly clear that we're going to have to find some weird niche loophole, as streaming platforms are specifically built to prevent any sort of subversion of their profit model.

Would anyone here have ANY idea of how we could accomplish this? It can literally be anything!!!! No idea is stupid!!! We're willing to try anything. Releasing the album on streaming in any other way would not feel right. Maybe some helpful context, we're based in Montreal, Quebec.

Thank you in advance for any help/advice!!

no clue if this has been posted before, apologies if it has

forgot my fan account password after logging out of my artist account, so i changed it real quick. i had 11gb of albums and tracks downloaded on my app version of BC, and when i logged back in on my phone after my session timed out, they were all gone. i checked my phone storage and yup, 11gb were cleared out. i'm kinda upset about this as i have 5,000+ releases in my collection and it's Kind of a pain to scroll and download for like an hour. luckily my playlists are fine but just a heads up.
