      <h1>bandcamp User Experience</h1>
      <p>Speaking as a music buyer, here is why I think bandcamp's user experience is great</p>
      <ol>
          <li>Pricing is transparent and upfront</li>
          <li>Offers a wide range of music formats</li>
          <li>Remembers which format you choose and makes it the default—it truly is the little things which are delightful</li>
          <li>You can tip as much or as little as you want</li>
          <li>The shopping cart lets you add items from multiple artists and labels—in a mix of dollars, pounds, and euros—then just check out once</li>
          <li>Periodically bandcamp has a day when it waives fees</li>
          <li>You can redownload anything you bought previously</li>
          <li>No special downloader application is needed, just use your browser</li>
          <li>Save your credit card info or not, choice is up to you</li>
          <li>Labels and independent artists both sell music on the service</li>
      </ol>
      
      <h1>Nothing is perfect</h1>
      <ul>
          <li>bandcamp used to require there always be a digital option but that now seems to be optional</li>
          <li>No Apple Pay support, only Paypal</li>
      </ul>
