Bandcamp lets you download .mp3 which are DRM free. They probably are tagged in the info but its just a text field
MP3 is a horrible non-free (well, not anymore, because the patents expired; but still), outdated format. bandcamp also lets you download as FLAC, which is none of that and lossless.
edit: it feels this comment came off a bit aggressively, so I just wanted to say that wasn't my intention ๐
FLAC does not work with alot of devices
Then transcode it to whatever other format you need yourself. Point is, the thing being sold ought to be the highest quality possible.
AAC-LC though works just about anywhere, and AFAIK is also patent free by now.
Which ones don't support it? It's a very old format at this point. Every Android device in existence can work with it for example.
