Have you heard of Bandcamp? It is an online music platform similar to Spotify and Tidal. Here, music fans can listen to their desired songs and support the artists they love. With the help of Chromecast support, you can cast songs from Bandcamp on your smartphone or PC to a TV.
Apart from providing songs, Bandcamp also supports musicians directly. All the musicians can upload their own creations on Bandcamp. If a Bandcamp user purchases any album, almost 80% of the money goes to the artist or their label. Thus it provides a small money-earning opportunity for the creators.
